Our Vision

At Bowling Park, we help pupils develop respect, confidence and empathy. We ensure children learn about what makes healthy relationships, focusing on family and friendships (in a way that is age appropriate and sensitive to their faith.) We teach pupils about equality and diversity in the context of British values and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We establish clear links between individuals and the wider world through exploring a range of different scenarios and real-life examples. We develop characteristics of a responsible citizen who is prepared for making decisions in their daily life. 

At Bowling Park, we follow the Coram Life curriculum framework, known as SCARF. This is part of a whole-school approach and it is a strong part of our ethos. We are committed to promoting the health and wellbeing our children and aim to prepare them for life in school and beyond.

SCARF is all about promoting children's overall wellbeing and progress, focusing on five core values: Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship. At the heart of each SCARF lesson, taught every week, is the 'Growth Mindset' approach, encouraging positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience, and success. To make learning engaging, we bring the SCARF values to life through tales featuring Harold the giraffe, interactive songs, films, and activities that are both thought-provoking and enjoyable. We create a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where children can flourish and share their ideas. We recognise the important relationship between well-being and learning.
