“To be the founding Principal of a school so resolutely focused on serving its immediate community was an opportunity too enticing to pass up. I feel incredibly privileged to have been entrusted with leading Houlton and welcoming Rugby’s children to our brand new Houlton family.”
Our campus will be handed over to us during the summer holidays. Therefore, we will not be able to run open events during the summer term. However, restrictions allowing, we will be hosting an Open Evening and bookable open morning sessions in the autumn term. We will publish dates once scheduled here on our website, on our social media channels and in the local press. Meanwhile, please see our Virtual Open Evening, live on our website.
Rugby’s newest secondary school – Houlton School – is set to feature on BBC One TV programme ‘Dom Digs In’.
The programme, which is hosted by Dom Littlewood, will explore the construction of the brand-new Houlton School ahead of opening to its very first Year 7 pupils in September 2021.
After years of planning and preparation, Houlton School has been given the all clear to open by the Secretary of State for Education.
Mr Michael McCulley has been appointed as Houlton School’s inaugural Principal.
Mr McCulley, who has a wealth of experience working in Good and Outstanding schools, has taken up post and is looking forward to working in an area that has a real personal importance to him.
