Did you know that Early Years childcare support is expanding, with funded hours now available for children from 9 months old.

If you live and work in England you may be entitled to 30 hours funded childcare support from the term after your child turns 9 months old, until they start school.

In September 2025, 15 hours for working families with children under 3 expanded to 30 hours, meaning eligible working families will be able to claim 30 hours of childcare from the term after their child turns 9 months until they reach school age.
Please use the link below for more details and to check your eligibility.

Get your application in now to secure your child’s place in our outstanding Early Years setting. Applications can be found using the link https://www.bowerham.lancs.sch.uk/admissions-process/

Our outstanding Bowerham Nursery School currently has spaces for 2, 3 & 4 year olds. This is very unusual for our setting and has given us the opportunity to promote our availability of places. Please spread the word within our community.

Families receiving government support

If you receive any of the following benefits or you are working and on low income as detailed below:

  • Income Support
  • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
  • income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Universal Credit – if you and your partner are on a low income from work (usually a combined income of less than £15,400 a year after tax)
  • guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit (or both), AND your household income is £16,190 a year or less before tax

you can apply for an eligibility check with us to take up a 15 hours’ funded place for your two-year old. See how to apply to submit your eligibility check.

If you’re a non-UK citizen who cannot claim benefits please see no recourse to public funds for more information on how to apply.

Working families

You may be able to get free childcare for your child aged 9 months to 4 years old if you live in England.

The amount of free childcare you can get depends on:

  • your child’s age and circumstances
  • whether you’re working (employed, self-employed, or a director)
  • your income (and your partner’s income, if you have one)
  • your immigration status

A Rich, Balanced, and Creative Curriculum

At Bowerham, children receive a high-quality education across all National Curriculum subjects, alongside exceptional sports, music, and enrichment opportunities. Every child has access to creative, sporting, and cultural experiences, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular activities and class visits.
Our outdoor spaces are a point of pride and include an outdoor classroom, orchard, allotment, sports field, and wildlife area—encouraging hands-on, experiential learning.
Strong Partnerships and Parent Communication
We value our close connections with Cumbria and Lancaster University and collaborate with the Lancaster and Morecambe Cluster to maintain excellent working relationships with local schools. These partnerships help us provide a wide range of opportunities to enrich our  childrens’ learning.
Parents are integral to our school community, and we communicate frequently through learning platforms such as Tapestry and Showbie. Through these, parents receive regular curriculum updates, termly reports, and individual targets for their children, ensuring they are well-informed and able to support their child’s learning journey at home.
Preparing for the Future
Our Year 6 children benefit from a broad range of choices for their secondary education. Many move on to local schools, including Ripley St. Thomas, Lancaster Central, Boys an Girls Grammar schools, Morecambe Bay Academy, Heysham High, Dallam, and Garstang High. All children leave Bowerham prepared academically, emotionally, and physically for the next stage of their learning journey, carrying with them our love, support, and aspirations for a bright future.
Join the Bowerham Family
We are incredibly proud of our school community and the vibrant, inclusive environment we offer. We look forward to welcoming your child to Bowerham, where they can stand tall, reach high, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
