"Excellent Experience for Our Daughter"
We have been truly impressed with Great Bowden Academy. The values of kindness, empathy, and respect have been evident throughout our daughter's time there. The forest school and STEM programs have also provided her with a love of learning and a sense of adventure.

"Mixed Feelings"
We loved the idea of Great Bowden's focus on church values, but unfortunately, our experience was mixed. While the staff were caring and the facilities were good, we felt that our child's individual needs were not always met. We decided to move to another school for the next year.
