Howden C of E Infant School

At Howden CE Infant school, we dedicate ourselves to serving the children and families in the town of Howden and its surrounding villages as we strive to realise our school vision – ‘Roots to grow so together we flourish’. Our strong, deeply embedded Christian values are at the root of everything we do here. For the children in our care to flourish, we firmly believe they need to be: known and valued as individuals; challenged academically; supported compassionately and championed relentlessly.

It is our aim for all of our children to develop curious minds and to find joy in learning during their time with us. As such they learn through a clearly sequenced, ambitious curriculum which is built upon engaging guiding questions and enriched through visits, visitors and experiences. Children are involved in developing learning journeys and their interests are followed throughout.

We have three simple rules which make up the Howden 3Ls and guide us through each day. These ensure that our children feel safe and happy at school:

• Learn well together (linked to our Christian values of curiosity and joy).
• Live well together (Linked to our Christian value of respect).
• Look after one another (Linked to our Christian values of family and nurture).
