Howden is a small 11-16 school serving its community in the East Riding, with just over 700 students on roll. As part of The Consortium Academy Trust, we are ambitious about the future – creating learning environments and excellence in teaching and learning that provide our children and young people with the best chance at a successful future.
At Howden we set and maintain high standards and expectations in terms of teaching, aspirations, behaviour and appearance. We believe that all young people have a right to a high-quality educational experience, which provides the appropriate conditions for learning and helps them to achieve their full potential.
Mrs Tester, Headteacher

💙 HOWDEN SCHOOL WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU! 💙 Every child is different, and we know that supporting young people goes far beyond what happens in the classroom. Their mental health, emotional wellbeing and ability to feel safe, supported and understood are just as important as their academic progress. We would love to hear your thoughts!
We are looking forward to our Year 7 Meet the Team event tonight.
