The Gower School is an independent, co-educational Montessori day school and nursery located in Islington, London. Established in 2000 by Emma Gowers, it provides education for children aged six months to 11 years across two dedicated sites. The school follows the Montessori method, prioritising individualised learning, self-discipline, and independence. Its curriculum integrates Montessori principles with the National Curriculum, supported by facilities such as specialised art and science rooms. Pupils also benefit from local amenities for sports, including swimming and football, alongside a broad programme of music and creative arts.

Selectivity:
Academic
Admissions to the primary school follow a selective evaluation process. For entry into Reception, children participate in a group play-based session, with a shortlist of candidates subsequently invited for an individual assessment with a teacher. Pupils applying for later year groups are required to undergo a two-day trial visit and sit formal examinations in mathematics, English, reasoning, and reading. Acceptance is based on an assessment of the child's academic potential and developmental progress.
