My daughter was fortunate enough to be one of the first children to begin at The Gower School in September 2002. Most parents dream of sending their children to an establishment that celebrates and fulfils the exacting teaching requirements of a modern day independent school.

Using the teaching principals of the Montessori method coupled with the governments own exacting requirements The Gower School has been a firm leader in the education and encouragement of all its pupils. Each classroom is filled with educational aids to encourage and focus the ever questioning young minds.

From my very first appointment at the school I marvelled at the ingenuity of how the whole environment is really adapted for the children that attend. Clean, well thought out spaces designed for sole use of the children. The outdoor area encourages healthy interaction with a large variety of equipment to encourage young children to play thus maintaining a fit and healthy disposition. Even down to the fact that there is an area for gardening, in the summer an outdoor seating area and in the winter ample room to build a snowman. All around are happy children able to interact with each other and the adults around them.

Education of our children is paramount in the 21st Century and we are all aware that the early years at school are vital, coupled with a good home environment. Which in turn will allow most children to excel which is exactly was happened with my daughter.

The Gower School has made a great impact on my daughter's social, educational and overall general development in and out of the classroom. The ethos of the school encourages all the children to interact, learn and play in a very thoughtful manner on a daily basis. In a day and age where manners are often forgotten all children from the Gower School come across very well mannered. Miss Gowers experience and knowledge of the educational system is clearly shared with her team, thus enabling the whole environment to be uniformly welcoming to children and parents alike.

My daughter has a strong foundation in reading, writing, maths and a knowledge of the world from which she can only build upon. With such an interesting and varied curriculum which includes music, swimming, French, cookery, regular visits to the library, theatre etc. My daughter looks forward to school in the mornings and coming home at the end of the day. The Gower School helps me to strike a balance, if only more schools were of this exacting standard less parents would worry.

The Gower School has made an impression not only on myself but more importantly my daughter, the impact shall follow us many, many years to come.

Words fail me as I try to convey how impressed I am with your wonderful school. Calm, efficient, traditional values, forward looking concepts, with the child at the centre of each decision.

A big thankyou for helping my child settle in so well into life at the Gower School. Both of us are thrilled to see how much he is enjoying his mornings in nursery. We really notice the difference, particularly with his singing and desire to read books independently of us since he has been to school.

I can't thank you enough for starting my daughter off in such a positive way on the education ladder. We have been delighted with her progress but more importantly her confidence in being with other people rather than just her family. I am pleased that we started with The Gower School from the beginning of its opening and hope it goes from strength to strength.

My daughter will miss Miss Watson, Miss Beasley, Miss Jameson and Mrs Knight they have made the last six months very enjoyable for her and she always has so much to talk about when she gets home, I can't thank them enough.

The Gower School staff- thank you for all you have done for my daughter over the last 4 years, it's been a great start for her and she has enjoyed every minute. We are glad that her brother will be following in his sister's footsteps.

Everyone who's been involved in looking after my daughter at the Gower School 'THANK YOU' for doing such a good job and being so caring. She will miss the purple house as she calls it.
