An 'Outstanding' Montessori Nursery and Primary School in Islington

Message from Principal Emma Gowers Welcome to The Gower School

Welcome to The Gower School, which I founded in 2000.

It was wonderful for our independent school’s work to be rated once again as Outstanding and Excellent in every category following our external inspection. Our Montessori Nursery and Primary school offer a broad curriculum in multi-age classrooms which aims to develop the whole person – their mind, body, heart and soul. We teach academic, social and other valuable skills to last a lifetime. Our goal is to cultivate girls and boys who are confident, happy all-rounders with a love of learning.
