About

Howard House School aims to encourage intellectual curiosity, critical perception and respect for learning. "culture eats strategy for breakfast" – this is a famous quote delivered by Peter Drucker. The culture at our school is driven by our aspirations for our students and staff, which is best defined by our motto "excellence by any measure" .

To support our students and staff, we have developed our in-house 'R.I.S.E' strategy. R.I.S.E stands for: Every child is a unique individual During their time at Howard House School, some students may have additional needs relating to their learning, physical or mental health.

We want all students, regardless of any special educational need or disability, to experience educational success and to feel that they are a valued member of Howard House School.

To this end, we recognise and allow for individual differences between students, understanding that: Students with Education, Health and Care Plans, are given extra support according to their particular circumstances, and parents/carers are kept fully informed of such arrangements, with regular reviews throughout the academic year.
