It comes after the school’s recent Ofsted inspection, during which the school was rated as Outstanding in four areas of the framework, including Early Years Foundation Stage, Behaviour and Attitudes, and Leadership and Management.
Jamie Stuttard, Principal at Bowling Green Academy, said: “This has been an amazing year for us as a school where we have gone from strength to strength.
