Headmistress’ Welcome

Life at Bowdon Prep is exciting. Our vision at BPS is to empower girls to believe in themselves and to persevere and succeed in all that they do. We believe that all pupils should have an education that motivates, supports and inspires them to be the very best that they can be and academic excellence is at the heart of our school.

Our staff are specialist teachers who are passionate about their subjects and put pastoral care at the heart of all they do. In all areas of school life, we want our girls not only to succeed – whatever their individual talents or abilities may be – but also to feel successful.

I am extremely proud of all our girls; they strive to do their very best as individuals. They are ambitious and show real belief in themselves. They are determined and learn the value of perseverance.

With fantastic facilities, we provide an extensive range of opportunities to learn, explore and discover. You will find the sports teams are highly skilled and most competitive. An extensive range of opportunities for involvement in the creative and expressive arts, ensures that the girls grow in confidence and self-esteem and perform with enthusiasm and passion.

The girls go on to record highly impressive results in exams for entry into the senior schools, both within the Trafford grammar schools and in a wide variety of excellent independent schools; each year girls gain scholarships to Manchester High School for Girls and Alderley Edge School for Girls. Our pupils leave us with not only strong friendships and a sense of responsibility to self and others, but also many wonderful memories and a range of skills that will allow them to flourish in their senior school and beyond.

I feel incredibly privileged to be the Headmistress of Bowdon Preparatory School – it is an exceptional place to learn. Please take time to browse our website. It will give you a flavour of our school and reflects the energy, vibrancy and fun we have here, staff and pupils alike. Alternatively, come and visit us to experience Bowdon Preparatory School for yourselves.
