We are a single-form entry primary school set in the heart of Houghton village and, with 190 pupils on roll. We have recently celebrated 60 years of education on this site, but the original school dates much further back…..the school dates back to 1841 where a tiny school was built by the Church of England next to St John’s Church. There began our close relationship with St John’s Church and the village community.

 

Our school has a dedicated team of staff, Governors, PTA and Church members who strive to reach the highest standards. Key to this, are the successful partnerships with our school family, church and community. Everything we do at Houghton CE School is underpinned by our Christian values and ethos. Our school is a school for all children and families regardless of faith, no faith, gender, race or social circumstances - our warm, inclusive atmosphere is evident throughout the school where our Christian values shine out! We really do all ‘learn together in a caring Christian environment’ with an education built on a firm Christian foundation.

 

At Houghton CE School we believe children should be curious and excited about their learning. Through our engaging curriculum, we provide the foundations for the passion and love for learning that help to develop high aspirations and create lifetime memories. From those first tentative steps in Reception class, all the way through to Year 6 where our children stride out as confident young people, we pride ourselves on ensuring our children are happy, capable young people who love learning as much as we love teaching them!

 

Our website will grow over time as we add more information, but it can never replace the first-hand experience of coming to visit us. Our door is always open and we would love to see you!
