Message from the principal Welcome to The Gower School
Welcome to The Gower School, which I founded in 2000.
It was wonderful for the school’s work to be rated as Outstanding and Excellent in every category following our most recent external inspection. We offer a broad curriculum in multi-age classrooms which aims to develop the whole person – their mind, body, heart and soul. We teach academic, social and other valuable skills to last a lifetime. Our goal is to make sure that our girls and boys are confident, happy all-rounders with a love of learning.

VALUES Our Aims & Ethos
HAPPY
thoughtful, considerate self motivated learners who enjoy coming to school
CONFIDENT
independent, enquiring, articulate thinkers who are prepared to face new challenges
ACHIEVE POTENTIAL
children make very good progress as a result of excellent teaching, support and a broad, creative curriculum.
At The Gower School we aim for all our children to be happy, confident learners who achieve their potential.
“The most Islington place imaginable with strong adherence to Montessori principles, eg: ‘heuristic play’ sessions, high staff-to-pupil ratio, with devoted key workers.”
“Behaviour is exemplary. Staff prepare children to respect and care for one another. Children are happy, safe and secure within their nurturing environment. Children build very secure and loving relationships with key people and all staff in their room.”
“From their start here as babies, just beginning to be mobile, they progress to be independent, self-motivated learners, confident in their own ability to do things for themselves and to help others.”
“From their start here as babies, just beginning to be mobile, they progress to be independent, self-motivated learners, confident in their own ability to do things for themselves and to help others.”
“In the Early Years Foundation Stage, staff provide outstanding provision for children’s well-being. Arrangements for health and safety are excellent. The safeguarding of pupils’ welfare is of paramount concern to all staff.”
