Bower Park School - Bower Factor


Cllr Mann was at Bower Park School yesterday, on the last day of term for its annual “Bower Factor” event, this year being the 4th annual show, based on the hugely popular X Factor format, children from years 7 to 10 compete in a show of dance, song, gymnastics and comedy to win the event. The event is judges in the same way as the T.V programme, with three teachers taking to the judge’s panel, with one playing the nice guy, one Mr Nasty and the last down the middle. It is broken down in to two age ranges, year 7 and 8 and year 9 and 10.

The show always brings out the best in the pupils and having watched some of the same pupils perform over the last 2 to 3 years, it is nice to see them improve in what they are doing. Over 100 children took part, watched by the rest of the year groups.

The event is always one of the big highlights of the year and makes for a great day, on the last day of term. I for one can not wait until next year when we hold the 5th annual show, lets hope it is bigger and better than ever before.
