7 December 2018

Year 9 pupil Hannah has been named one of twelve English Speaking Board (ESB) Young Speakers of the Year for 2018! She collected her award and performed a presentation at the Young Speaker of the Year Showcase in Liverpool.


Children in Science Club at Beech House, Bolton School's Infant department, were excited to visit a laboratory in the Senior Girls' School. With a little help from Sixth Form girls, they completed a series of experiments before enjoying a fun demonstration from Ms Teichman.


Parents and guardians of pupils at Beech House also helped to spread a little Christmas cheer to less fortunate children in the local area. They donated a large supply of toys and gifts to the Bolton Lions' Christmas appeal, which will be given to children aged 0-18 across the town.


In the Boys' Division, pupils enjoyed musical performances from young talented musicians during assembly. Brother and sister duo No Wahala performed 'Earned It' by The Weekend and 'Trip' by Ella Mai, while Youth Concept played two original songs, Crazy and Bianca.

Girls' Division pupils in Year 7 earlier this year completed a sponsored silence in order to help Hits Radio's Mission Christmas Appeal. They have already raised £3,700, with more still to come in! The money collected so far was spent during an exciting 'trolley dash' at Smyths toy store at Middlebrook, and the toys and gifts the girls chose will be donated to the appeal.


Christmas festivities officially began with the first Bolton School nativity of the year, which was performed by the Nursery Class and Nursery children in the Butterfly room. 'Whoops-A-Daisy Angel' told the story from the point of view of an angel who is a little different from all the others, but still manages to be the heroine of Christmas.


Year 7 pupil Mabelle has been selected for the GB Home Nations squad for 2019 following her recent 6th place finish in Great Britain in a National Gymnastics competition! She is also the North West champion for her age group.

Four Girls' Division pupils helped the Lancashire U15s to win a tournament in York.

Parents in the Boys' Division received valuable advice about the university application process from guest speaker Bernard Strutt, Head of UK/EU student recruitment at the University of Manchester. This evening event was organised by the Boys' Division Parents' Association as part of their Teenage Journey series of talks.
