Bow School is a secondary school and sixth form for boys and girls, located in Bromley-by-Bow in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England. It has a roll of about 600 students and increasing. In September 2014 the school moved from the old site off Fairfield Road, Bow to a new site 1 mile to the south-east by Bow Locks, in a brand new building designed by van Heyningen and Haward Architects. The school started accepting girls in the new school building, along with the move, into Year 7 and the numbers will grow so that in 5 years time, the school will have all its year groups mixed sex.
Bow teaches a number of subjects stretched across a seven period day and a six period day on Friday.
The subjects taught now are: English, Maths, Science, Design and Technology (D.T.: Graphic Products, Resistant Materials), Art & Design, Modern Foreign Languages (French, Bengali), Religious Studies, Physical Education, History, Geography, Information Technology, Skills, Preparation For Adulthood, Music, Statistics, Construction, Drama, Further Maths (at GCSE)
Creative Partnerships provides school children across England with the opportunity to develop creativity in learning and to take part in cultural activities of the highest quality. It is not a funding body but aims to establish genuine collaborative partnerships to enable the development of projects that reflect the interests, specialisms and shared vision of those involved.
As representatives of the Creative Partnerships London East Youth Forum, three Bow School students were involved in a project last year at the official launch of the London 2012 Olympic bid when they interviewed Jude Kelly OBE about her role leading on the cultural focus of the bid. The article was published in ‘Snapshots’, London East’s regular newsletter.
Funded by Merrill Lynch Bank, in partnership with Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership, this project is designed to enhance the range of enterprise and entrepreneurship opportunities on offer to Bow School students. Students in Years 8 and 9 participate in a range of activities, many of them delivered at Merrill Lynch’s HQ. Bank staff also visit the school to deliver lessons on starting your own business, managing finances and developing a company ethos.
