There are only a few openings in each year group if you are seeking for a school for your child right now. To schedule a visit, please call the school at 01749 342514 or send an email through our "contact us" page. We would be delighted to show you around. We are able to provide "in year" spots and can help you with the procedure. Bowlish Infant School is a modest, welcoming neighbourhood school. Up to 117 kids between the ages of 4 and 7 are welcome. The Bowlish and Darshill mill towns needed a school to educate their children, thus it was established in July 1869. The school has a long history of involvement in the neighbourhood. Despite being founded as a church school, it is no longer associated with any one religion but still upholds its founding principles of supporting and caring for children and their families. To give every student who attends our school the best learning experience possible, the staff, governors, and parents collaborate as a team. The school has received high-quality resource allocation, decoration, and expansion over the years. Four classrooms, a library, a hall, a staff room, a quiet room, a kitchen, and the school offices are all included in the buildings. Each classroom is equipped with a variety of tools, such as laptops, iPads, and interactive whiteboards. Our experienced team of staff attend a range of training courses during the school year and are committed to ensuring that their practice is effective in supporting children to learn well and make good progress.
