Our Vision

Our vision is to raise the next generation of students, to be World and Career Ready.

We nurture students who are critical thinkers, problem solvers and relationship builders. Students who are self-aware, inquisitive, resourceful and passionate and are equipped to establish a platform from which they can thrive, both personally and professionally. 

Our vision puts our students and their current, and future lives, at the forefront of all that we do. We intend that every Bow student has the experiences, develops the insights and is equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure that they are World and Career Ready.

We achieve our vision through effective teaching, an embedded culture of excellence and a rich programme designed specifically to harness students' energy, skills and experience to open doors to life beyond Bow School.
