Bower Grove School
Together we Inspire & Achieve
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.

Today we explored The Big Question "What is confidence, and when does confidence turn into bravery? Our amazing staff and our legendary Bower Grove Banana Man shared stories of when they've stepped out of their comfort zones and shown real courage. One of our favourite quotes came from Banana Man "I was brave when I took a BIG risk and tried new fruits that weren't bananas!" We wrapped up with a wonderful reminder that bravery isn't about being fearless, it's about taking that first step even when you're nervous. A huge congratulations to our Golden Duck winners this week... SQUIRRELS!
We are pleased to share information about an upcoming workshop, led by Danielle Hewitt, designed to help parents and carers better understand sensory processing in children and young people. This is a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge, ask questions and learn practical strategies to support children at home, in school and within the community.
We have been asked to share information about Shaypes, a local organisation providing community-based opportunities for neurodivergent young people and adults aged 16+. Bower Grove School is sharing this information for the benefit of families and has no prior or existing links with them. Parents and carers should make your own enquiries to determine whether a service is suitable for your needs. For further information, please contact Shaypes directly. https://www.shaypes.co.uk/
