Message from Principal Emma Gowers Welcome to The Gower School
Welcome to The Gower School, which I founded in 2000.
It was wonderful for our independent school’s work to be rated once again as Outstanding and Excellent in every category. Our Montessori Nursery and Primary school teach academic, social and other valuable skills to last a lifetime. Our goal is to cultivate girls and boys who are confident, happy all-rounders with a love of learning.
