It was a morning celebration of music, with young performers showcasing their enthusiasm, confidence and talent. The joy and energy throughout the event truly highlighted the importance of music in bringing the school communities together and supporting their creativity.A big thank you to all the schools who joined us, our students and staff who helped make the morning such a success. 👏🎵BringingOutTheBest

🏉TOUCH RUGBY TOURNAMENT🏉Following the success of last year’s event, The Friends of The Howard are excited to bring back the Touch Rugby Tournament, this time right here at school. Expect a brilliant evening of friendly competition, community spirit, and plenty of fun. We’re inviting teachers, parents, carers, students - and siblings (Year 7 and up) to take part. Whether you play regularly or just fancy giving it a go, it’s a relaxed and friendly way to get involved. Teams will be made up of around 10 players, either all adults or students of similar ages. Boys and girls can take part, and mixed teams are very welcome. As it’s touch rugby, there’s no tackling - just speed, skill, teamwork, and a lot of good humour. 🍔BBQ and BAR🍷🍻This year we’ll also have a BBQ and a bar on site, so even if you’re not playing, come along to cheer from the sidelines and enjoy the evening with the school community. TOMBOLA🎟️We’ll also be running a tombola and would be very grateful for any prize donations. Ideas include bottles of wine, chocolates, beauty products, sports accessories, stationery, games, anything suitable for adults or students. Please drop off any donations at school reception or get in touch on friends@thehoward.thpt.org.uk Book your place(s) by emailing friends@thehoward.thpt.org.uk HELPERSWe will also need a team of helpers on the day to run the BBQ, Bar, Tombola etc. If you can help even for just half an hour or so, it would be a huge help.

A brilliant example of leadership and compassion in action. 💙👏
