Welcome to the Friends of Howes Webpage
Friends of Howes is an association bringing together parents, teachers, staff and the Howes wider community to raise money and to support the school. It provides an opportunity for the school’s community to work together towards our common goals of enhancing the students’ educational experiences.

Recently Friends of Howes have supported:
- Trips to The Seaside

- School Books
- …much, much more
