What Our Community Says

 We’re proud of a lot of things at Bow School, but nothing makes us prouder than our students and wider community. They embody our values and vision for the future and are passionate advocates for the school. Here, we catch up with a few of them… 

SHABNA, Parent Ambassador

“I jumped at the opportunity to be part of the Parent Ambassador network. It offered the chance to be part of the school community, meet other parents and work with the school in partnership, to enhance the student experience offered at Bow. Having worked with the Parent Ambassador group, I have gained a greater understanding of what the school stands for and its values.

There are so many strengths of the school – the rich learning environment, incredible enrichment programme, strong safeguarding, academic excellence and the range of parental engagement opportunities, as well as being recognised by Ofsted as a Good school. I know that at Bow School they will achieve their vision for my child, that they will create the next generation of World and Career Ready students. As a Parent Ambassador, I look forward to continuing to work together, and effecting positive change, to make Bow School the very best, and the school of choice.”

MARGARET, YEAR 8 Gainsborough Primary School

“I was nervous about starting secondary school and was worried about making new friends, but I had nothing to worry about at Bow! Before starting, I attended lots of events at the school – open evening, open mornings, Friendship Afternoon, taster sessions, Induction Day and Summer School – I made plenty of new friends before I even started!"

AKEM, YEAR 10

 “This year I became an Anti-Bullying Ambassador, a role which is a great privilege and comes with a lot of responsibility. I make it my priority to ensure that students are happy and comfortable, and support those who aren’t. I am also part of the School Council, meeting with my peers to discuss how we can improve the school experience for everyone”.

YEAR 7 PARENT

“I am so pleased with the progress my son has made since starting secondary school at Bow School. He found his feet very quickly, and often comes home motivated to work on homework and projects. He has grown so much in confidence, always willing to try new things and blossoming in independence. The school maintains a strong sense of pastoral care, the highest standards of teaching and exciting extra-curricular programme”.
