3 secondary schools and 4 primary schools. We have future growth plans as a Multi Academy
Trust with major projects taking place across the organisation.

Our overarching aim and vision for our member schools is "working together to create a
community of successful learners". In doing this, we will deliver an outstanding education
for the children and young people who attend our academies. We endeavour to ensure that
all our pupils have access to the highest standards of teaching, resources and opportunities.
The Trust's role is to oversee the leadership and vision of member schools and to develop
effective and supportive partnerships between them. We have a firm belief within the Trust
that every child should have access to at least a good education.

We are proud that every academy inspected since joining our Trust has remained as a Good
school. Both Temple Mill Primary School and Waterfront UTC joined the Trust as sponsored
academies and have moved from Special Measures to a Good school on their first inspection.
Our schools serve their own community, and each has a unique identity. Being part of this
Multi Academy Trust has already provided member schools with practical benefits. We want
communities to be proud of their local THAT school and we are determined to make it the
first choice for all families.

As Chief Executive, I am enormously proud of our
schools and of the leaders, governors, teachers and
support staff who every day ensure our pupils enjoy
and make good progress in their learning.

Located in Rainham, Kent Located in Gillingham, Kent, Welcome to The Abbey School, and thank you for your interest in this post. The Abbey School
joined the very successful Howard Academy Trust on 1st April 2023, after celebrating the
school's best academic results ever in 2022. The Abbey School is a mixed secondary school
with a thriving population of over 1200 students. We believe that school should be a place
where young people can discover and develop their own individual talents. This means an
education that is structured around the individual strengths and needs of each child.

At the end of their time with us, we aim for all our young people to leave the school
confident, happy and well equipped to take their place in employment or further education.
We are particularly proud of the support structures that exist within the school which we
continually enhance. Developing 'well rounded' individuals who possess a strong sense of
responsibility for both the school and the wider community is important to us. Our students
require not only an excellent foundation in learning, but also attributes such as resilience,
leadership, creativity and team-working skills.

When you visit our school I am sure that you will recognise not only the warm welcome of
our students but also their enjoyment and passion for learning.

Our school motto reflects our educational values. It is inclusive of all that belong to our
community, and it is our aim that all members of our school show respect for one another.

Learning and growth are at the heart of The Howard Academy Trust ethos. We strongly
advocate that all members of our community have the opportunity to become the very
best that they can be. We recognise and value the unique talents and expertise within our
community and aim to create a culture of dignity, inclusivity, respect and ambition, where
all can thrive.

This is achieved through:

Excellent teaching and learning that promotes inclusivity;

Regular opportunities for collaborative CPD to ensure best practice across academies;

A proactive network for joint working across academies, for staff at various career stages;

The highest standards of behaviour and conduct achieved through clear expectations and positive
relationships;

The unique character of each academy is valued and contributes to the THAT whole Trust ethos;

Shared whole Trust values of dignity, respect and ambition;

High aspirations for all involved with the Trust and a solutions led approach;

Each academy is a hub for its local community and families;

Facing outwards and working in collaboration with other organisations and stakeholders;

A centralised team that allows academies leaders to focus on their core purpose of education.

qualifications. It refers to the broader sense of accomplishment gained through personal
development and through participation in a large variety of opportunities offered to our
students. In many circumstances achievement of their goals should be recognised or
praised, but we will not reward mediocrity.

Community

Our school emphasises the importance of working collectively both within the school and
with local partners. Our vision is that students should be the best that they can be and
support others in realising this goal. When students achieve they not only improve their
sense of identity but also their commitment and feeling of belonging in the school.

Curiosity

We want our students to take a keen interest in the world around them and develop a love
of learning. This means being exposed to issues such as the complexities of the universe
and the human condition. When faced with the scale, intricacy and magnificence of the
world around them our hope is that they develop a sense of wonder and humility. In doing
so they may also consider the value or meaning of their own life.
