"The Gower Montessori Primary School stood out for us due to the positive involvement of pupils and staff whose contributions have clearly influenced the design. A school environment was created which supports the learning philosophy of the school effectively, whilst making the most of a tight urban site and demonstrating a very positive approach to environmental sustainability."

At the Gower School the children are taught to be aware of the food they eat, its effect on their bodies and on the planet. Opportunities for cooking are integrated into the curriculum, so children may find themselves baking biscuits to sell for a charity event, or preparing a traditional Anglo-Saxon meal! The kitchen has been specially designed with integrated, low-level work surfaces for the children to use comfortably and safely.
