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 morning, our school enjoyed some special 'DEAR' time- Drop Everything and Read! A fantastic way to celebrate the National Year of Reading and share a love of books across our school. We're also excited about the reading competition currently being run by Mrs Cleave. Entries should be emailed in. More details in the picture below. Closing date: Friday 22nd May 2026. Keep reading and sharing your inspiration! A big shoutout to this week's Golden Duck winner- Squirrels!
Last night was marshmallows around the campfire Today is breakfast at 0700 followed by the 'Sensory Trail'.
It was the 'Traverse' this afternoon for our PGL'ers.
All's well at PGL, with stomachs lined (cooked breakfast) and zip wire / orienteering for morning activities.
It's an afternoon of 'All Aboard' and 'Lazer Tag' for our PGL'ers.
