Welcome to Howes Community Primary School
From Carol Brammer, Headteacher
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, adventure trail 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 of 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.
September 2009 Letter from the Headteacher
A New School Year at Howes Primary! To those of you who are returning - welcome back, and to new children, parents and teachers we hope you will be very happy here.
We look forward to seeing children on our first day of School on Monday September 7th. Reception and Nursery have a staggered start to ensure children settle well into school.
I would like to welcome Ms Becky Shaw to our school as she joins us as Reception teacher. We had a great set of SATs results last year and we wish our children a great start in year 7 as they go to secondary school.
School has been a busy place over the summer! The holiday club has been very popular and many children from Howes and the wider community have enjoyed a fun time together. We have made some changes to the building during the summer. This has included knocking through from a side classroom into the key stage 2 corridor to provide greater access and space for learning. Doors from the corridor have also provided us with immediate access to outside and we are looking forward to working on landscape plans this year for the outside areas. Foundation Stage are in the process of having a canopy built in the play area and we hope this will increase the opportunities for playing outdoors - despite any rainy weather!
We look forward to 2009-10 year at Howes Primary with everyone.
Helping One another Working Everyday for Success.
