Stepping back in time to the Victorian era... Our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a brilliant, action-packed trip to Quarry Bank Mill! Bringing their reading of Street Child vividly to life, they immersed themselves in Victorian history as they explored the cotton mill, saw the historic machinery in action, and discovered what daily life was really like for young workers. A particularly special moment came during an interactive drama session. When the actor rang his bell to step out of character, our pupils spontaneously broke into a warm round of applause without any prompting at all. The adults in the room couldn’t have been prouder of their engagement, respect, and maturity. A true mark of a Bowdon Prep pupil. A huge thank you to Mrs Delph for organising such a fantastic trip, and to Mrs Wyers and Mrs Lewis for supporting us! Finally, thank you @ntquarrybank for providing such an enjoyable and engaging visit. #Altrincham #Hale #Cheshire #PrepSchool

Following on from our spotlight on phonics in Year 1, this week we are in Kindergarten to see where that early reading magic begins! ​Believe it or not, these pupils are only 3 years old. Phonics in Kindergarten starts with short, engaging group bursts, followed by purposeful play where Mrs Ward works 1:1 with each child. ​In the clip, you will see our youngest learners exploring wordless books. Free from text to decode, these richly illustrated books spark deep conversation, build inference skills, and foster a genuine love for stories. Every pupil also chooses a storybook from our school library each week to take home. ​We believe early reading is a true team effort. Our Friday newsletter keeps parents completely in the loop with a clear review of this week's sounds and a look ahead to next week, so learning at home feels seamless and fun. #Altrincham #Hale #PrepSchool #Cheshire

Practical science is best, especially when led by specialist expertise! Our Year 3 pupils had a fantastic time bringing pollination to life, sculpting detailed flower models out of plasticine before dressing up as busy insects to "collect" pollen around the classroom. Acting out the role of pollinators gave the pupils a hands-on understanding of how insects transfer pollen between flowers so plants can produce seeds and reproduce. At Bowdon Prep, Science is taught as a specialist subject from Year 3. Our Head of Science, Mrs McGrath, brought 23 years of secondary science experience to BPS six years ago. Her deep subject knowledge introduces accurate scientific enquiry, rich vocabulary, and high-level questioning from an early age, ensuring our pupils are consistently stretched and challenged beyond the standard curriculum. The impact speaks for itself. Returning pupils regularly share how exceptionally well-prepared and confident they felt in science when transitioning to senior school. That is the power of specialist science teaching in a prep setting.

After THAT Sydney Sweeney ad threatened to throw women’s sport back into the dark ages, we’re here for the kick back. Female sport is about feeling strong, building confidence and having fun, and @reptonschool is leading the way with a pioneering programme. From busy schedules and schoolwork to confidence wobbles and the pressure to do everything, there are plenty of things that can get in the way of girls staying active. So how do we help them keep playing, enjoying sport and feeling good about it? 💪 With a programme that leans into female physiology, elite conditioning and oodles of opportunities, Repton School thinks it has the answer. Our latest feature looks at the barriers girls face - and what parents, schools and clubs can do to help keep them in the game🏅 Read the full story via the link in bio! #muddystilettos #GirlsInSport #GetGirlsMoving #YouthSport #WomenInSport @reptonsport
