Welcome from the Principal

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our Houlton family, where innovation, aspiration and excellence are at the heart of all we do. As Her Majesty's Inspector, Nicola Harwood noted when Ofsted last visited us in 2021, we '...place spiritual, moral, social and cultural education at the heart of the curriculum so that pupils flourish and are well prepared for life beyond school.'

We have the privilege of occupying the Grade II historic listed buildings that previously housed Rugby International Radio Station. Inspired by our heritage, we enjoy our very own Communications Centre, fully resourced with a library and professional radio and television broadcasting station, allowing us to continue the historic legacy of our campus. Some established schools are lucky to be provided with refreshed facilities in one or two specialist subjects, such as the Performing Arts or STEM; however, our pupils enjoy state-of-the-art facilities alongside stunning heritage buildings across the entire curriculum...
