Working together to build a community of successful learners.
Core Values: Inclusivity, dignity, respect & ambition

We aim to create a close-knit family of Good and Outstanding schools through partnership, challenge, accountability and support within a cooperative framework.

We are committed to enhancing the life chances of young people by improving their educational achievement.

Schools within the Trust will retain their unique and individual character.

We strive for excellence and aim to bring about transformational change where necessary in schools.

We are truly inclusive and aim to establish the highest expectations for young people and all those who work with them.

Learning and growth are at the heart of The Howard Academy Trust ethos. We strongly advocate that all members of our community have the opportunity to become the very best that they can be. We recognise and value the unique talents and expertise within our community and aim to create a culture of dignity, inclusivity, respect and ambition, where all can thrive.
