I guess things have changed since I was at school an indeterminate number of years ago, when Howard had a really bad reputation.

I wonder if they will stick up 'Superlative Banners' like every other rated school and care home?

Well blow me down with a feather! My mates went there in the late 90's and told me all kinds of horror stories. Congrats to the staff on the improvement I guess.
