You deserve every success you have achieved, and all of us at Bow are incredibly proud of your determination, ethic and passion in achieving your ambitions.  It is my promise to all students when they walk through the door at the start of Year 7 that they will not only receive the very best education, but they will benefit from an all-encompassing student experience, strong values, a clear vision which all members of the community are committed to and access to life-changing opportunities. I hope to welcome many of you back in September to Sixth Form, to build on these strong foundations you have created”.
