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.

Today was the turn of the y7 football teams starting with the girls who performed brilliantly in the Tigers Trust Inclusive Futsal Tournament, narrowly losing in the final after winning 7 of their 9 games. Lots of goals scored and lots of fun had by all. Followed by the boys who competed well in their 7 a side competition, winning 2 and drawing 2 of their 5 games but narrowly losing out on qualification for the next round by 1 goal. Another great effort from the boys.
Today, we were honoured to welcome Mr O'Brien, who gave a moving performance of The Last Post as we observed our two-minute silence in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Consortium Academy Trust
Today we paused for two-minutes of silence, and reflected on the service and sacrifices the Armed Forces and their families make on our behalf. This week, each tutor group has used the Royal British Legion 'Every One Remembered' website to find out more about the individuals who left Howden for the First World War, never to return. We will continue to remember them throughout the week, with classroom doors displaying information about our Howden WW1 fallen.
Today we pause to remember all those who served, sacrificed and gave their lives in the pursuit of peace and freedom. We honour the courage and bravery of the men and women who served in conflicts past and present, and remember the families and loved ones whose lives were changed forever. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we observe a moment of silence to reflect, remember and give thanks. Their courage will never be forgotten. Their sacrifice will never be in vain. We will remember them. 🌺 Lest We Forget 🌺
