August 2020

 Despite the challenges of the past several months, students at Bolton School nonetheless celebrated their A Level results. Girls' Division students were congratulated over the phone by their teachers, while the Boys' Division opened its doors for careful, socially distant celebrations in the afternoon of results day. In both Divisions, students achieved a strong set of results and were encouraged to enjoy their moment as much as possible.

The celebrations for GCSE students may well have been virtual, but they were very real as Boys' and Girls' Division students achieved excellence in a tumultuous week of uncertainty. Year 11 pupils in both Divisions achieved a good crop of results via email.

During the summer, two Bolton School pupils have been chosen as part of a national shortlist of 20 students in this year's Political Studies Association (PSA) Blog Competition, held in partnership with the FT and supported by UK Parliament. Congratulations to Zoe Grainger, who collected her A level results this summer, and Lucas Appleby, who is about to start Year 13.

The Bolton branch of the Historical Association has been holding its monthly meetings in the Girls' Division for a number of years. This will be the case once again during the 2020-21 academic year. However, in order to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances surrounding Covid-19, this year the start of the season will be postponed until January 2021. Full details are available here.
