The Howard School is a respected school which provides unmatched opportunities for students in academic, personal, sporting, cultural and social aspects of life.
Key Information about our School:
Our academic results are outstanding. In 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 The Howard was, by some distance, the best performing non-selective school in Medway (5 A* - C grades including English and Maths at GCSE). 2012 has seen the school improve yet again with an incredible 93% of students achieving 5 or more good (grade C or above) GCSE grades.
An impressive 62% of our students achieved 5 or more A* - C grades (including English and Maths at GCSE). We are the best performing non-selective all boys school in the South East.
We intend to continue to raise standards. It is vital that students, parents/carers, staff, governors and the Local Authority work together to realise this aim.
We are a good school focused on achieving exceptional results in education (Ofsted).

Public Examinations
Could I ask parents/carers to ensure students arrive at the school at least fifteen minutes prior to the official start of the exam. In addition to specific subject requirements, students should always be equipped with a black pen and a pencil for all written examinations.

Year 10 Work Experience
Year 10 students will commence Work Experience on Monday 24 June 2013 for one week. At the end of May students will be given a job description relating to their allocated placement. This will detail the name and address of the 'employer' and full contact name/phone number of their supervisor. The job description will also outline expected hours of work as well as details of the role. Students must keep this information safe because reprints are not available. All relevant checks have been carried out on placements and alternatives will not be considered at this late stage. Please could parents/carers sign and return the consent form as soon as possible. We appreciate your co-operation in this worthwhile Work Related Learning exercise which forms an important part of your son's education as it prepares him for life outside of school.
