Headteacher’s Welcome

A happy and caring school

Welcome to the website As Head of Howard Community Academy, a member of Anglian Learning, I am privileged to welcome you to our school and to encourage you to spend some time getting to know us. With a dedicated staff team, we strive to make learning irresistible and inspiring for all of our lovely young learners and their families from our local area in the heart of the Howard estate in the historic town of Bury St Edmunds.

Since joining Anglian Learning in April 2020, we have been working tirelessly to support our young learners. Our vision for Howard Community Academy is to be at the heart of the community and to become a beacon of excellence. This is clearly expressed through our four values:- nurture, community, experience and aspiration. Our website gives a flavour of some of our work we have been doing that reflects these values.

Partnering with primary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, the Meadow Primary in Balsham, Fen Ditton Primary, Bottisham Primary, Stapleford Primary, Marleigh Primary, The Pines Primary and Linton Heights Junior school, we promote lifelong learning and a rounded education, focused on developing a love for learning and developing skills for life.

Our ethos around building a happy and caring school with calm, safe and respectful behaviours underpins our journey to make education and life at school successful and exciting for our enthusiastic learners.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch via the school office, should you require any further information. We are always happy to help.

Kind regards

Alison Weir
