Welcome To Bowhouse Primary School's Website

Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear parents/carers,
On behalf of the staff, parents and children, I extend a warm welcome to you and your child as part of our school community at Bowhouse Primary School and ELC.
We hope you find the information on our website helpful as we begin to share your child's learning journey with you.
Whilst education continues to undergo many changes to prepare children for the demands of a rapidly changing world, the central aim at Bowhouse remains the same; to provide the best possible education for each child in our school, challenging and supporting them to achieve their potential.
Our staff are dedicated, caring and hard-working and are aspirational for all our children. We create an inclusive, positive and nurturing atmosphere in school and seek to involve and work in partnership with families to establish positive home/school links to ensure the best possible outcomes for each child.  
If you have any questions or would like to find out more information about our school and ELC,  please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Best wishes,

Laura Swan
Headteacher

Weather

With the hot temperatures this week children can come to school in appropriate comfortable clothing. Please send your child with a hat and a filled water bottle and apply suncream before they come to school/nursery. We are fortunate that our heating/ventilation allows us to keep rooms cool but want to ensure children are protected from the sun when outside and that they are kept well hydrated.

A letter was sent out a couple of weeks ago with details of how classes are configured which is also attached as a reminder.
