WHO WE ARE
Bowes Hutchinson’s C of E Voluntary Aided Primary School
Cotherstone Primary School & Nursery
Welcome to Bowes Cotherstone Federation
The Bowes Cotherstone Federation is made up of two small, rural schools; Bowes Hutchinson’s CE (VA) Primary School and Cotherstone Primary School.
Each school has its own identity, but we operate together as one organisation, with one Governing Body and Executive Headteacher.
We offer safe, welcoming and nurturing schools with a dedicated staff team who are passionate about ensuring every child flourishes into a caring, confident and resilient life-long learner.
Now operating together as one organisation, with one Governing Board and Executive Headteacher, we are best placed to offer our children the highest possible standards in teaching and learning.
Our federation prides itself on providing a nurturing, holistic and family environment within which children thrive.
We seek to stimulate the love of learning in our children so that they want to learn for themselves and achieve to the very best of their abilities. Every child is valued as an individual and enabled to flourish and grow.
Believe, Aspire, Thrive, Together.
We, as a Federation, believe and know that every member of the school community can aspire to be the very best. Aiming high and having the confidence, self-belief and resilience to know that we can achieve whatever we set our mind to, will guarantee that everyone can thrive as we focus on the common good of all. Children will experience an inspirational, engaging and relevant curriculum that has been carefully crafted and tailored to the personalised needs of our children. Their experiences and memories that they create on their journey will result in passionate individuals who love to learn whilst being well prepared for their next steps in education and life, being respectful and honest citizens. Working together and welcoming all into our Federation and community allows for collaboration, builds capacity and strength, invites reflection and ensures that everyone grows and shines as a proud member of The Bowes Cotherstone Federation.
Federation Values:
love, respect, honesty, community (koinonia)
If you are looking for a school where each and every child is nurtured and can grow, then look no further. Both Bowes and Cotherstone offer the privilege of small class sizes, joint learning sessions with similar pupils from small settings and learning opportunities that are rooted in our welcoming communities and heritage.
