Howbridge has a caring, friendly, Christian ethos that aims to develop everyone to their full potential within an atmosphere of mutual respect and openness, where everyone’s contribution is valued. We are all ‘learners’ and the school celebrates the richness, variety, inspiration and challenge that everyone can bring.

We want to work in partnership with all members of the school community to provide the very best education we can for each of our children, as we firmly believe this to be the right of every pupil. We will strive to supply every child with a rich, varied, challenging and inspiring curriculum and the conditions in which each can achieve his or her full potential to the highest possible standard.

The Governing Body and all members of staff accept responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their academic, pastoral and social needs. We believe a child who is considered to be ‘socially disadvantaged’ has the same educational entitlement as any other child – every child at Howbridge is valued, respected and encouraged to reach his/her full potential irrespective of their need or background.
