On behalf of the staff, governors and children of Howden Junior School, I warmly welcome you to our website and into our fantastic school community.
At Howden Junior School, relationships are at the heart of all we do. We are a strong community of committed and hard-working staff, dedicated governors and supportive parents. At the centre of our community are our wonderful children. They are the driver for all that we do. Our children have a voice in our community. They lead projects, have chosen charities to support with fundraising and contribute to our continued improvement. Our close-knit community includes Howden C of E Infant school and our multi-academy trust, The Education Alliance. Together, we share a common purpose:
‘We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.’
Four values underpin everything we do at Howden Junior School:
Community Courage Care Curiosity
These values are the things we believe all children in our care should develop during their time with us. Our curriculum reflects these values. It is ambitious and enriched by a varied range of extra-curricular experiences which provide memories that last long after our children have moved on to pastures new.
Our school is set in extensive, attractive grounds that provide our children with a wonderful place to play, as well as to learn about the world around them. We have an outdoor classroom, Forest School area and an allotment.
When our children leave us they are caring, curious, motivated, independent individuals, equipped with the courage to pursue an exciting future on their educational journey.
We believe that this is a wonderful school and we are all very proud of what we do here at Howden Juniors. Please take the time to have a look around our website and twitter account (@HowdenJuniors) to see what we are all about. If you would prefer to come in, you are very welcome. Please call the office to make an appointment on 01430 430385. We look forward to welcoming you into our school community in the near future.
Mrs Claire Isitt
Head of School
