Independent preparatory schools do not have to follow the National Curriculum or submit test results to the Department for Education so there is no individual school performance data or star rating.

Visit the school's website to learn more about their unique curriculum, policies on testing and common leaver destinations (a good indicator of pupil progress). See our About page for information on Choosing A Prep School.

Bowdon Preparatory School for Girls Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Fantastic School”


My daughter moved to this school in year 3 and is now in year 4. She knew none of the other girls there and was quite shy with her peers at her old school so we were a little apprehensive about how she would integrate. The teachers and other girls there have been fantastic and she is flourishing both academically and socially. The office staff are fantastic and always happy and helpful and the teachers are always approachable and accommodating.. They really do have the balance right between academics and building the girls’ confidence in themselves as individuals and as learners. I highly recommend this school.
“Simply fantastic”


Bowdon Preparatory School for Girls is simply fantastic! My three daughters love it there, and as a parent, that's the most reassuring feeling. The school provides a caring environment, excellent teachers, and diverse activities that have sparked their enthusiasm for learning and allowed them to explore their interests. It's a wonderful community, and I couldn't be happier with the positive impact it's had on my girls' education and happiness.
“Highly recommend”


This is a really good school. The teachers go out of the way to not only make the children feel welcome but also the parents, and this really means a lot especially for those who have recently moved to the country.
“Highly recommend BPS”


We moved back home from abroad in 2021 and our daughters (4 and 8) joined BPS mid year. The school was absolutely fantastic in helping the girls feel welcome and supporting them to settle in quickly. Individual attention was given to each child to help them settle, and the teachers, Heads of Year and Head kept in close contact with us. Since then both of our girls are thriving and love school. Both girls are nurtured as individuals, and our eldest is being helped to overcome gaps in previous learning. She especially is building confidence through the investment the school makes in building resilient and well rounded individuals. We’ve recently moved and although there are other independent schools closer to us we wouldn’t dream of moving the girls as they truly feel they are part of the BPS family.
