Enormous congratulations to the staff and governors of Bowes Primary School who have been judged to be "Outstanding in all areas" following their recent OFSTED inspection.

This latest OFSTED report (available to view at the school website) is glowing in its comments on the school. For example:

• The Executive headteacher, the senior team and the governors lead the school outstandingly well, ensuring that both teaching and achievement are of the highest standard.
• Outstanding teaching inspires pupils to enjoy learning and to develop excellent personal skills.
• Teachers and teaching assistants are skilful educators, using positive language that motivates and engages pupils, including disabled pupils, those who have special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional language.

                                                                                                   OFSTED 2013

Well done to all!
