Welcome to The Howard School
Thank you for your interest in The Howard School at what I think is a very exciting time to be part of the school’s community. As part of The Howard Academy Trust, we are committed to a shared moral purpose; to make a positive difference to the lives of the young people in our community.
High Standards lead to High Achievement
The Howard School is a highly inclusive school community where every individual matters. High levels of discipline ensure everyone is expected to work hard and make a positive contribution to the learning environment. The school has been recognised as a Rights Respecting School at Gold Level by UNICEF, the only secondary school in Kent or Medway to receive such an award.
A "Good" School
"Pupils enjoy school and feel valued. The school is inclusive with a real sense of community. Relationships between pupils, and between pupils and staff, are a real strength."

During all of today's festivities and frivolities with Hot Chocolate and Retirements, we were also visited by Jack Dolan and his family. For those unaware, Jack had an accident back in the Summer; an accident that could have happened to anyone of us during what should have been a blissful Summer's day. Jack's visit was an opportunity to bring some of his friends together to share a little laughter during this festive season. From everyone here at The Howard School, we continue to wish Jack all the very best and he and his family remain in our thoughts. The progress Jack is making every day with his recovery is incredible with Jack showing us all just what a little fighter he is. We wish Jack and his family a very, very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025 as Jack continues to go from strength-to-strength. Sending all of our love.
Goodbye to a True Legend! It's always hard to say goodbye, but this one feels especially tough. After an amazing 33 years, the incredible Ms. Parish has retired. She's not just been part of The Howard Schoolshe's been its heart and soul, woven into the very fabric of everything we do. Over the years, Ms. Parish has done so much for all of us. As an English Teacher , she made books come alive and helped so many students find their confidence and their voice. Her lessons were full of laughter, learning, and those "lightbulb moments" we'll never forget. But Ms. Parish didn't stop there. She was also a big part of the Senior Leadership Team , helping to make the school the amazing place it is today. She's always been someone we could look up to, whether we needed advice, encouragement, or just a friendly smile. To celebrate her incredible career, we were joined by some very special guests. Ms. Reid (Deputy CEO) , Ms. Neech (Trust Improvement Partner) , and even Mr. Morris, who was Headteacher here for many years and the very first CEO of the Trust , all came to say goodbye and thank you. That shows just how much Ms. Parish means to everyone who's been part of The Howard School family. Ms. Parish, you've been more than a teacheryou've been a legend. Your kindness, passion, and dedication have touched every corner of this school, and we're so grateful for everything you've done. We hope you enjoy every moment of your retirementyou've earned it more than anyone!

Merry Christmas, everyone!
