WHAT. A. COUPLE. OF. DAYS. We were absolutely delighted to welcome Ofsted to The Howard School this week... and WOW are we proud! Our students were simply outstanding. Those who took part in Student Voice spoke with confidence, honesty and maturity they didn't just do themselves proud, they did our entire school proud! True LORIC values in action: Leadership Organisation Resilience Initiative Communication And our parents and carers... WOW. An incredible 96% of families who completed the survey said they would recommend our school Inspectors commented that it was one of the most positive parent surveys they had ever seen. That is something truly special. To our staff, students and families thank you. Across lessons, corridors, meetings and social times, our whole community came together to showcase the hard work, care, ambition and belonging that defines The Howard School every single day. We now await the publication of the final report so we can share the grading with you we are incredibly proud of how our community represented itself this week. High Standards lead to High Achievement. Be Good. Be Kind. Be Hardworking.
