Bowness Local Governing Board

In this section you can find out all about how our Governance is structured for Bowness. The Local Governing Body of Bowness Primary School meets three times a year. 

Bowness is part of Prestolee Multi Academy Trust since December 2015.

Governance is a rapidly changing and responsive part of our School Trust.  It is integral to the success of the Trust and the School.

We are currently reviewing how we collect diversity data for governors and trustees, and this will be updated shortly.
