History
The school opened in 1949 as Chase Cross secondary modern. It was reorganised as a comprehensive school in 1971. In 1989 it was amalgamated with Forest Lodge School and it was renamed to its current name, Bower Park. Bower Park was formed off two sides, with the second side being demolished that now holds the housing estate. The Academy has had 3 Headteachers over its period of time one of them being Mrs Mary Morrison who's hard work and determination turned the schools label around. Mrs Morrison resigned with effect on the 31st of December 2016. In 2007 the school got new sports facilities which included a new sports hall as well as an astro turf pitch. This was opened by boxing legend Frank Bruno (MBE).
In a 2009 Ofsted report the school was given the mark "Satisfactory".
In 2014 Ofsted report the Academy was given the mark "Requires Improvement". https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/files/2425689/urn/139307.pdf
