Bolton School: Where Children Enjoy the Very Best Start in Life

With over 2,500 pupils enjoying an education in a co-ed Nursery and Infant School and then in single-sex Junior and Senior Schools with Sixth Forms, Bolton School is one of the largest and most successful schools in the country.

The School balances the best of tradition with cutting-edge modernity. Having celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2016, this illustrious heritage was enhanced by the recent completion of a £20m+ building programme, including new all-weather sports pitches. In recent years, all pupils in Years 3 and above have been issued with iPads to complement their studies. In 2019 it was TES’ independent school of the year.

Inspections regularly assess the School as “excellent” in all categories and annual exam results place it among the top educational institutions in the country. Enquirers should call 01204 840201 for more information and to book private tours.
