About

iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).

The Gower School offers a high-quality and broad curriculum in multi-age groups aimed at the development of the whole person – mind, body, heart and soul. We teach academic and social skills, as well as life skills, to last a lifetime. The principles and philosophy of Dr Maria Montessori underpin the School's educational approach.

Montessori is widely recognised internationally as helping to educate young people to the highest modern standards and giving them a lifelong love of learning, which exceeds the expectations of the British National Curriculum. The Gower School prides itself on a high teacher-to-child ratio, far exceeding most other schools. Our teachers are all highly-trained observers.

They are committed to providing each child with an individual plan of work that challenges them and which follows a steady learning programme. Each child is allocated their own 'Key Person' at The Gower School. Young children make secure attachments and strong bonds with their dedicated Key Person, who takes care of them and looks out for them in their parents' absence.
