Ethos & Values

"Learning together... the possibilities are endless"

We are kind to others, prepared for life in modern Britain, kind to ourselves (mental health and wellbeing), and kind to our local area and environment. We are independent learners. We are building resilience and ‘growth mindset’ by welcoming challenge, not giving up, learning from our mistakes and bouncing back well when faced with difficulties. We enjoy our broad curriculum through well-structured lessons and engaging learning opportunities.

Head Teacher's Message

Principal’s Welcome: The Principal states a warm welcome to Bowling Green Academy, emphasises that they all ‘achieve together’, that children are at the heart of everything they do, and that the kite in the logo should fly high, thrive and flourish both academically and personally.
