• Penalty Success for Harry!

  Wed 08 Dec 2021 MF

  Here's what Harry wrote recently, after he represented Howitt brilliantly in the penalty shoot-out at the Gregg Cup, coming second overall. Thanks, Harry - Well done!

  "I took some penalties against the goalie for Heanor Town. I was up against three other schools and we had 3 penalties each. When it went to sudden death, there was a tie breaker. Although I came second, I'm glad I took part and that is all that matters." @embarkfed #integrity #success

• Food technology

  Sun 07 Nov 2021 MF

  Our new Food Technology skills programme got underway last week. So good to see children enjoying planning their meal, then shopping for the ingredients as a team, handling money and operating the till. Back to school to make their recipe, then tasting time... and of course the washing up! They all took their tea home with them... and gave the whole experience a big thumbs up! We will be repeating the sessions weekly this year, giving lots more children the chance to take part.
