Welcome to Howes Community Primary School

From Carol Brammer, Headteacher

April 2008

As the new Headteacher of Howes from April 2008, I am looking forward to working in this vibrant and hard working school. It has been a real pleasure to become part of the school.

Howes Community Primary School was built in 2006 and is in the heart of the Cheylesmore Community Our children are from the Cheylesmore, Stivichall, Finham and Whitley areas of Coventry.

Howes is a great place to learn! We are proud of our school and are continually striving for the highest possible standards. Our curriculum seeks to develop core skills and a positive attitude towards life long learning.

The large sports field and playground enhance the quality of education offered and the children’s environmental awareness.  The school building is light, bright and airy.  It is designed for education in the twenty first century.

Children from across the city may attend our Hearing Impaired Unit (HIU).  Each of these children has an individual integration programme based on their own communication and learning needs. 

The Enhanced Nursery means that the 26 children who attend each session there are up to six children with a degree of special need. The Nursery has additional staffing to support these children. 

Our vision “working together in pursuit of excellence” seeks to ensure that every child receives equal access to the curriculum and makes good progress.  We want our children to be well motivated with positive attitudes and a pride in themselves, others and the school. 

We wish to make your child’s time at Howes a memorable and enjoyable one. We appreciate and encourage the involvement of parents, recognising how important that parent partnership is.

We hope our website gives you a flavour of the school and would encourage prospective parents to visit us so that you can see the school in action.
