Parent Quotes
The parental support that Bow school has given me has played an essential role in improving the behaviour and academic attainment of my son. It has brought the teachers and me closer and helped to improve our communication.

Throughout the course I have gained valuable knowledge and skills, helping me to deal with a challenging teenager. It has given me the opportunity to share experiences with many members of our community that have similar issues with their teenagers.
