We are delighted to share some fantastic news - a brand-new disabled parking bay has been completed in our school car park. The new bay has been added to the school’s car park, making excellent use of a previously redundant space near the back door of the building.

This thoughtful addition not only improves accessibility for disabled visitors but also frees up the existing disabled bay for staff parking, helping to ease pressure on neighbouring streets such as Gunnsbrook Close.

This has been made possible thanks to the generous support of Davidsons Homes, who fully funded the £4,500 project, and the excellent construction work by DTC Construction.

This collaboration came about following a conversation with Davidsons Homes, who expressed an interest in engaging with our pupils about the construction industry—an exciting link with our school’s ongoing focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) education.

We’re now looking forward to welcoming the Davidsons Homes team to Great Bowden Academy on 7th July, when they’ll be bringing along a digger for a hands-on and interactive STEM session with our children!

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to both Davidsons Homes and DTC Construction for their generosity and for helping us to create a more inclusive and inspiring school environment.
