The Gower School   The Gower School 18 North Road

We offer a broad curriculum in multi-age classrooms, aimed at the development of the whole person - mind, body, heart and soul- teaching academic and social skills, as well as life skills, to actually last a lifetime.We are guided not by bureaucratic edict but by a philosophy of education that espouses respect for the individual child, nurturing surroundings, and self-reliance. Plus, we believe in purposeful and fulfilling activity that breaks down the artificial division of ‘work' and ‘play'. And, while we don't promote peer competitiveness as a learning tool within our classroom, we do reinforce the inner drive for self-improvement as a motivational tool.The warm, friendly environment is immediately apparent when you enter the school – it is a unique environment where everybody gets to know every child and family by name. It is important to me that every child is recognised as an individual, so that we can nurture their talents and give them the specific help that they need to succeed at school.
