Welcome

Houghton Conquest Lower School has been at the centre of this village community for over 100 years and we continue to strive to be the best place for every child to start their learning journey. Our motto ‘Growing Together’ promotes our ethos of learning not just academically but for all children to achieve their full potential in a caring yet challenging environment. We offer support and encouragement through all aspects of school life. We want to develop confident, honest and responsible young people, capable of making a positive contribution to their community. We help pupils to understand their role by leading by example and because of our values-led foundation to our school.

We are part of a Central Bedfordshire scheme to realign the educational structure from three tier to a two tier structure, and as such we will transition to a Primary school from September 2026. Over the next few years our expansion will welcome a new building and increased pupil numbers.

Please come and visit us as this will more vibrantly convey the energy and enthusiasm of the staff and pupils. Members of staff work together with professionalism and commitment. We make every effort to work in partnership with our pupils’ parents encouraging good communication and shared understanding.

We are justly proud of our school and its heritage and we welcome you to be part of its continued success.

Tours of the school are welcomed and I look forward to meeting you.

Miss J Heaslip
Headteacher
