Bolton School
Bolton, Greater Manchester
Bolton School
We provide challenge, encourage initiative, promote teamwork and develop leadership capabilities.
It is our aim that students leave the School as self-confident young people equipped with the knowledge, skills and attributes that will allow them to lead a happy and fulfilled life and to make a difference for good in the wider community.
We do this through offering:
* a rich and stimulating educational experience which encompasses academic, extra-curricular and social activities
* a supportive and industrious learning environment for pupils selected on academic potential, irrespective of means and background.
A schoolwide Open Morning is held in mid-October each year but we encourage pupils and parents to visit throughout term time when they can be assured of a warm welcome and a guided tour of the School.
Although pupils are normally admitted at Reception, Year 3, Year 7 and Year 12 stages, we do occasionally have places in other year groups and you are encouraged to call to discuss your entry with us.
We look forward to welcoming you!
