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.
This week's assembly asked The Big Question: What do Muslims believe, and how can we show forgiveness and kindness? Ms Ingram and her fantastic volunteers helped us explore Muslim beliefs, kindness and forgiveness through a range of engaging challenges and activities. Our students showed great enthusiasm and thoughtful reflection throughout the assembly. We were also pleased to celebrate some fantastic achievements: Marilyn Bee Competition Winners received their awards from our special guest, Marilyn. KS3 Kings Hill Football Tournament Runners-Up recognised for their excellent achievement. Lastly, a huge well done to Eagles, our Golden Duck winners this week.
No words allowed, just one powerful photo! We're challenging our talented students to capture one clear emotion in a single photograph!

📌 Digital Wellbeing & Safety Wednesday Many games are free to download, but some include in-game purchases that cost real money. From extra lives and special outfits to mystery boxes and premium currency, it can be easy to spend without realising how quickly the costs add up! Always ask a trusted adult before making a purchase. Check if a game includes in-app purchases. Be wary of offers that seem "too good to be true". Remember: the best players aren't always the ones who spend the most money!
