Thank you for visiting our website and taking an interest in Great Bowden Academy - a thriving village school on the edge of Market Harborough.

We are a Church of England school at the heart of our local community, with a strong Christian ethos that underpins everything we do. We welcome children aged 4–11 and are proud of our reputation as an innovative, high-achieving school where every child is valued and supported to flourish. Our school motto - Inspire · Believe · Learn · Achieve - captures our shared commitment to nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our team of skilled and dedicated staff are passionate about providing a rich, creative, and well-rounded education. Our curriculum is firmly rooted in the core skills of English and mathematics, while offering exciting opportunities across the arts, STEM, music, sport, and outdoor learning. We want our children to experience life in all its fullness - developing academically, socially, and spiritually in an environment where they are inspired to flourish.

By the time our pupils leave Great Bowden, we want them to be confident, articulate individuals who love learning, are proud of their achievements, and ready to make a positive difference in the world around them.

As part of the Learn Academies Trust, we are committed to providing the very best in primary education – continually reflecting, learning, and growing together as a community.

We hope this website gives you a glimpse of life at Great Bowden Academy, but the best way to get to know us is to visit. If you are considering a place for your child, we would be delighted to meet you and show you around - visitors are always warmly welcomed.
