Blessed William Howard is a Roman Catholic High-school located in Stafford, England, and is also a specialised Arts College as of 2003. The school was originally opened in 1963. The name Blessed William Howard comes from the site on which the school is located. William Howard was the 1st Viscount of Stafford in the 17th century, and owned the land on which the current school is built. He was convicted of treason and executed in 1680, wrongly so, as it is viewed by the Roman Catholic Church. The church therefore beatified him in 1929, and he became known as Blessed William Howard. Thus the school is named eponymously. The school has continued to expand with the opening of a new block, with a computer suite. The playground has also been recently renovated as well as the stage.

Kirsty Price, a current english teacher at the school, has recently been discovered having sexual relations with Mr Brian Brocklebank of the history department his ex-wife is not very happy and has therefore spontaneously combusted. Mrs Marlow has recently had a haircut. Gereldine McCauley is a ginger immigrant, who is currently the height of an umpa-lumpa.lets play pictionary!!!!!!!!! wooooooo The school has had an active prefect system since 2005, which was established by former Head Girl; Lauren Nicholson.
