Bowerhill Primary School

Our 3rd "Project Theatre" complete!
We were delighted to take 170 pupils to The Bristol Hippodrome to watch the most incredible performance of Matilda The Musical. This is the 3rd year that we have been able to send our children in Years 4, 5 and 6 to theatre. Thanks to our amazing Bowerhill Buddies, it hasn't cost our parents a penny!
This means that our very lucky Year 6 children have now seen: Aladdin, Scouts! The Musical and Matilda- all courtesy of the Buddies!

Sports Day 2026 is in the books!
After a couple of cancellations, the weather just about held out. With the right amount of participation events and some keen competition and a bit of silliness. The children were brilliant and the support was excellent as always.
A huge well done to Attenborough for winning the KS2 events this morning and Donaldson for winning the EYFS and KS1 event this afternoon.

What a wonderful Sports Festival we have had today. A huge thank you to Mr Davies for organising our 2nd Sport Festival, arranging local sports clubs to join us for a whole day of taster sessions, providing access to sports that some of our children have never thought about doing before.
A huge thank you to the following local clubs for joining us today, it has been a blast!
Melksham Rugby Club
Future of Football
Wiltshire Basketball Academy
Wiltshire School of Gymnastics
Tiger Martial Arts
Gracie Barra Melksham

Up and Under Sports

We were thrilled to welcome back Tom and Becky from Thomas Porter Wealth Management yesterday to work with our Year 6 children, teaching them all about financial literacy and improving their understanding of money.
The children were brilliant throughout the day and highly engaged with the different games and activities as they learned about interest rates, credit and debit, balance sheets and how to spot a scam (sometimes the hard way!)
The children will now put their new found knowledge into practice during their Enterprise Legacy Project- a big part of our "7 in 7 for Personal Development" as they come up with a project to raise money to improve the school however they'd like.

Such a wonderful end of term. And a huge thank you to Melksham News for coming to cover the event.
