Bowdon Prep School firmly believes that outstanding teachers are the single most important resource in providing our pupils with the best possible education. Academic excellence is at the heart of our school. We are proud of our high teacher to pupil ratio facilitated by a team of highly qualified, dedicated and experienced staff. As pupils progress through the school, the use of specialist subject teaching is increased and formal setting in Maths and English is introduced. This provides a strong framework for when the girls move on to senior school. We are passionate about creating an environment where both staff and pupils can learn and work to their full potential.
