Welcome

Welcome to the first glimpse of our school.  We hope that by visiting our website you will want to come and find out more about us and visit our school and meet our children and staff. 

I was appointed as Headteacher of the school in September 2006 at a very exciting time in the life of Howe Park School, just as our new purpose built nursery was ready to open. The term before was a time when I was privileged to work with my new leadership team and put in place all the preparations that have led to the successful establishment of this new provision for the school.

We are very proud of our school and the high regard that it is held in by our families (I hope you will find a few minutes to look at the results of our recent questionnaire).  As an Infant and Nursery School, we are able to get to know your child really well so that all children feel that they are really valued and  cared for in a community that is small enough to enable excellent relationships to be formed, but large enough to ensure that a full and varied curriculum is delivered.

We are very fortunate in the support we have from our community.  We have a very supportive Governing Body, who take an active role in the life of the school- sometimes behind the scenes in meetings, but also by being part of school events such as our Easter Bonnet Parade or Maths Day.  Additionally our FRIENDS Association plays a very active role in the school putting on events that help families feel they are part of an exciting community and also by raising much valued funds for our school.

In October we achieved our Healthy Schools Status, a success which was quickly followed by the acceptance of our School Travel Plan, and the additional funds that this provides for the school. We are now working hard at achieving our Inclusion Mark- something that this school feels is very important as we value all children, families and members of our school community.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our school.

Mrs Ros Jacklin

Headteacher
