Such a fantastic 4 days @HoustoneSchool delivering #RSE with years 7-10. What a lovely feeling within the school, all pupils so polite and friendly. Same goes for all the staff making me feel so welcome. Absolutely excellent sessions with great feedback. Thanks for having me.
Yesterday, our Year 10 pupils in Barcelona enjoyed an unforgettable visit to the iconic Camp Nou! ⚽🏟️
Pupils explored the stadium on a tour, getting an up-close look at the incredible trophy collection, iconic football kits & the history of FC Barcelona.
Another lovely day @HoustoneSchool with year 9 talking about contraception. Very engaged, with some fabulous questions. With one RSE Champion badge handed out @LutonSH#RSE#sexualhealth
Yr 10 Sports Studies pupils had a great day at GoApe today. Their course focuses on Outdoor and Adventurous Activities where they must participate in an outdoor activity, carry out risk assessments and demonstrate safe equipment use. Well done all 💪💪💪
Our Year 10 pupils have started making the most of their time in Barcelona, with a visit to the incredible Sagrada Família! 🇪🇸
A fantastic opportunity to experience one of the city’s most iconic landmarks & admire its extraordinary architecture.
We welcome Gulwali Passarlay to school to deliver assemblies across the day. He is the author of his best selling autobiography, "The Lightless Sky: A Twelve-Year-Old Refugee's Harrowing Escape from Afghanistan and His Extraordinary Journey Across Half The World".
Despite the warm weather, Houstone School is open as usual & our pupils are keeping cool! ☀️🌿 They've been watering the plants, relaxing in the shade & making the most of our gazebos. To top it all off, pupils enjoyed a refreshing ice lolly at lunch! 🍦😊
A fantastic part of our Year 11 leavers’ celebrations saw our Year 10 football team take on the Year 11s!
With Mr Snell as referee & Mr Carbonero & Mr Scarisbrick running the lines, it was a great game full of skill & determination!
5-2 victory for Year 11s. Well done 🙌🏆⚽️
We are proud to display giant flags on the front of our school building representing every country taking part in this year’s tournament. A fantastic way to celebrate diversity & global unity. #FIFAWorldCup@FIFAWorldCup@advschools@England#WorldCup2026
If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the educational job is already done. That's our honest assessment, based on many of us working in education for over three decades. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.
Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.
First six week elective complete 🙌
Electives at @HoustoneSchool are an excellent way for every pupil to attend six clubs throughout the academic year, broadening experiences & developing a wide range of skills.
Every year @HoustoneSchool grows in pupil numbers and we bring in new staff to our wonderful school. We're looking for Science and Maths teachers who want to come and build something special with us : https://t.co/hV87t9bwst
For a 2nd year in a row, we're delighted to be hosting our Careers Fair ⭐️
📆 20th Jan
📍 Houstone School
A great opportunity for KS4 pupils to connect with top employers from a range of industries, explore career paths, gain insights & discover post-16 opportunities ⭐️
What an absolutely stunning photography of Houstone School, taken by Holly in Year 10! The colours in the sky are incredible 😍 Great photography skills Holly!
Houstone School pupils enjoyed a festive Christmas lunch today 🎄🍽️ complete with crackers, party hats, & music. A lovely way to celebrate the season together as we came to the end of the first term.
What do you get if you cross a turnaround school with a startup school?
Yup - a whole load of problems.
But @thelizenglish is actually doing it, and leading one of the most fascinating and successful schools in the country.
