Bolton School was delighted to win the IDPE Fundraising Campaign of the Year award for the 100 Campaign for Bursaries, which successfully raised £5 million for the School's Bursary Fund between 2014 and 2018. The Award was decided based on voting from other IDPE member schools.

A team of four pupils took part in the Salters Festival of Chemistry at Manchester University. The girls competed in two challenges across the course of the day, and their near-perfect rainbow made from liquids of different densities won them first prize in the University Challenge!

Children in Year 2 used their imagination to enjoy a Victorian day at the seaside this week. They learned about holidays in the past as part of the workshop and were able to watch a funny Punch and Judy show.

Talented Boys' Division artists in Years 8 and 9 joined Caroline Slifkin to consider the horror of genocide and create mixed media responses. The workshop considered in depth the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and the Bosnian genocide.

Finally, the Boys' Division Sport Department has once again achieved the School Games Gold Award.
