Welcome to Bowbrook Primary School

Bowbrook Primary School is Shrewsbury’s newest primary school, having opened in September 2023, and provides education for children aged 3–11.

As a growing school, Bowbrook offers a unique and exciting opportunity to join a developing staff team at an early stage, helping to shape the school’s culture, curriculum and future direction as new cohorts join each year. We pride ourselves on being the School of Opportunity. We are committed to providing rich learning experiences and a nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We promote a culture of ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’ and our children and families are encouraged to embrace this.

Bowbrook Primary School is proudly part of The 3‑18 Education Trust, a Shropshire-based multi‑academy trust united by the vision ‘every individual is in a great school’. Working as part of the Trust provides staff with opportunities for collaboration, professional development and career progression, supported by strong shared values and a comprehensive staff benefits package.

Our school community is built on compassion, ambition and resilience. We value staff who are enthusiastic, reflective and committed to making a positive difference to children’s lives, and who are keen to grow alongside a forward-thinking and supportive team.
