Heads’ Welcome

Welcome to Bowdon Preparatory School.

We believe every girl deserves an education that inspires, supports, and empowers her to flourish — academically, socially, and personally. At BPS, girls discover a warm, stimulating community where being known truly matters.

Our specialist teachers are passionate about their subjects and committed to building confidence, resilience, and curiosity in every pupil, with pastoral care at the heart of all we do. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or in the performing arts studio, our girls are encouraged to aim high, embrace challenges, and celebrate success — whatever their strengths or ambitions.

The vibrant campus offers first-class facilities and a rich programme of experiences: from competitive sports teams and creative arts productions to STEM challenges. We guide each girl as she forms friendships, develops responsibility, and finds her place in a caring community.

Every year, our girls achieve excellent results, gaining entry into leading senior schools, including Trafford grammar schools and a wide range of outstanding independent schools. Many secure scholarships at highly selective schools. They leave Bowdon Prep not only with strong academic foundations but with confidence, purpose, and joyful memories of learning.

I feel privileged to serve as Headteacher of Bowdon Preparatory School, where every day is full of energy, curiosity, and care and I warmly invite you to explore our website, discover what makes our school special, and come and visit us in person.
