Houlton School is an 11-18 Free School Academy with World Class Quality Mark status. It is part of the Transforming Lives Educational Trust, based in Rugby. It opened to its founding cohort of Year 7 pupils in September 2021 and will grow, one cohort at a time until there are pupils across ages 11-18.
We are fortunate to occupy a brand new, £39 campus-style academy, which includes the Grade II listed former Rugby Radio Station buildings, as well as three new purpose-built, specialist teaching blocks, all set within a 20 acre campus on the Eastern border of Warwickshire.
This is an exciting time to join the Houlton family. Already accredited as a 'World Class School', you could join us as one of the very first cohorts of both staff and pupils. Check out our campus here: https://youtu.be/zLjJVdqJ3eI
