GOOD LUCK MR COOPER & MR FLACK! This Sunday is the big one... and we couldn't be prouder of two of our own! Mr Cooper (Head of PE) and Mr Flack (Head of Year 8) are taking on the incredible London Marathon 2026 and we'll all be cheering them on every step of the way! Both are running for causes incredibly close to their hearts , and as a school community we've already shown our support by raising an amazing £615 for each charity through our Tag Day before Christmas And today, our Year 8 students pulled off something special... At PM line-up, they surprised Mr Flack with signs to wish him luck completely catching him off guard! A brilliant moment of support, pride and community that sums us up perfectly You can track their progress LIVE on Sunday via the London Marathon app: Mr Cooper – 44764 (green vest & blue cap ) Mr Flack – 55545 (kitted out in orange ) Let's show them what The Howard School community is all about support, pride and togetherness Good luck, gents... go smash it!

LAW IN ACTION! Earlier this week, our Year 12 Law students took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to Canterbury Crown Court This wasn't just any trip... this was the real deal Students were welcomed into the courtroom of His Honour Judge Taylor KC, where they witnessed a live trial involving an importation of drugs case They saw the justice system unfold right in front of them – from the swearing-in of the jury, to the defendant giving evidence, and the intense questioning from barristers An incredible opportunity to see law in action and truly understand how everything they learn in lessons connects to the real world The highlight? Judge Taylor himself took time out of his busy schedule to speak to our students and host a Q&A session He shared his own journey into law and encouraged our students to consider careers in the legal profession A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this experience possible – opportunities like this are what bring learning to life! We are so proud of how our students conducted themselves throughout the visit – mature, engaged and asking thoughtful questions Who knows... future lawyers, judges or barristers in the making?
