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.
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.
"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."

PROUD MOMENT FOR THE HOWARD SCHOOL We absolutely love receiving messages like this... Earlier today, we were contacted by a member of the public who witnessed two of our Year 7 students, S. and M., going above and beyond in the community They noticed an elderly gentleman struggling with his shopping Stepped in without hesitation to help Walked him safely to his front door All while being polite, respectful and kind throughout This is what it's all about. Not for recognition, not for reward... but simply doing the right thing Of course, we couldn't let this go unnoticed... The boys have been celebrated in school, had their photo taken and received Amazon vouchers as a small thank you We are incredibly proud of the way they represented our school and our values: Be Hardworking. Be Good. Be Kind. A real credit to their families, their year group and The Howard School
