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.

Year 11 Mock Preparation Day Our Year 11 students spent the day working with leaders from English, Maths and Science, receiving expert guidance to help them prepare for their upcoming mock examinations. Throughout the day, students were equipped with high-quality revision strategies, exam techniques, and subject-specific tips to boost their confidence and performance. They were also treated to snacks and drinks to keep them focused and energised. We were delighted to welcome Evie Mae Stevenson, from The Parental Imprisonment Collective and Dead Clever Girls Project to speak to the students. A fantastic day of preparation, support, and aspiration as our Year 11s continue striving for excellence!
Congratulations to our U15 Boys Football team. They overcame a physical Armthorpe side to triumph 4-2 on penalties in the end after the match had originally finished all square at 1-1 with Leo grabbing the goal in regular time. Shoutout to Harry for his penalty save too before captain Max stepped up with the decisive kick. Onto the next round of the ESFA National Cup boys!
It was great to see so many of our Year 11s making such a positive start to their English revision after school today!
