As we close another school year, we also say goodbye to four incredible members of our team who are moving on to exciting new roles within the Learn Academies Trust family.

🌟 Mrs Bishop, our inspirational Executive Headteacher — thank you for your vision, leadership and unwavering support.

🌟 Mr Rose, our fantastic Year 6 teacher — thank you for guiding and inspiring our leavers with care and enthusiasm.

🌟 Mrs Walker, our brilliant Curriculum Development Lead — thank you for your creativity and dedication to high-quality learning.

🌟 Miss Iliffe, our wonderful Learning Support Assistant — thank you for the warmth and support you've given to our children every single day. We know you will ace your teacher training.

Each of you has played such an important role in the life of Great Bowden Academy. While we’re sad to see you go, we’re so proud of your achievements and wish you all the very best in your new adventures within the Trust. You will be truly missed.

To celebrate your time with us, we held a special whole school assembly to give thanks, before hitting the dancefloor (playground) for DJ Dickinson to play us some party tunes in the sunshine. Dancing, laughing, t-shirt signing, a bit of emotional goodbyes and ice lollies helped us see out the year with a bang!
