Our small class sizes and outstanding wellbeing and pastoral care ensures children are not only known individually, but are truly understood and celebrated. The Howe Green House family is a remarkable and dedicated one, and the positivity, kindness and support between each member truly extends outside the school gates. The children at Howe Green House are immersed in an incredible range of opportunities and are encouraged to try everything on a journey of self-discovery to find their passions – developing resilience and confidence along the way.
