Howes Community Primary School, inspected in April 2024, is currently rated as requiring improvement overall, primarily due to the quality of education which has not yet reached acceptable standards across all subjects. Despite this, the school has notable strengths, particularly in behaviour, personal development, and early years education, where children show strong progress. The school community is described as having a positive and safe environment, where pupils engage well with each other and feel supported by staff. However, concerns remain regarding curriculum development in certain subjects and an increase in persistent absenteeism among vulnerable pupils.
