Description
Howard House School is located on the outskirts of Bedlington, Northumberland. The school setting is very nurturing, with its picturesque view and students are encouraged to exploit this and walk the peaceful grounds. Howard House is an alternative provision for students with special educational needs; all of the students have SEND, with only one student not having an EHCP. Currently, they have 19 students on roll, with class sizes of no more than 4.
Facilities
There is a 2:1 staff to student ratio, meaning all of students receive 1:1 most of the time. For most vulnerable students, they have the facilities to educate them outside of the usual classroom environment. The aim is to support such students with 1:1 teaching and learning because the usual classroom environment can be too difficult for them to manage at times. They always aim to transition students back into the usual classroom environment, but only when they believe they are truly ready.
Features
Things to note

Extra-curricular subjects include Art, Woodwork, Music, Spanish, Duke of Edinburgh and Sport Science. They provide Entry Level One and Two, Functional Skills, in-house awards; and GCSE. The purpose of the school is revealed by the curriculum they provide; they have high aspirations for students and work to close the limits of opportunity that exist in society. Whilst they offer personalised pathways for learners at each Key Stage, all students have equal access to a broad and diverse curriculum.
