Bower Grove is a foundation day special school for children and young people aged between 4 and 16 years.
We offer our pupils a high quality of education, accessible to learners of varied abilities and different learning styles, whilst taking into consideration their social, emotional, behavioural and mental health needs.
The school is designated for 225 pupils with learning difficulties, and SEMH needs. Many pupils also have Autism Spectrum Conditions and communication difficulties or ADHD.
Upcoming Events
This week's whole school assembly focused on the important theme of Friendship, exploring Bower Grove's The Big Question: What qualities do you look for in a friend? What sort of friend are you? How could you be a better friend? Our pupils took part enthusiastically and participated thoughtfully in reflecting on what good friendship looks like. Congratulations to The Hub, our Golden Duck winner this week!
