8 February 2019

Bolton School was incredibly proud to win the Independent School of the Year and Senior School of the Year categories at the prestigious TES Independent School Awards 2019. The School's wide-reaching outreach activities and community relationships played a key role in securing both awards.


Sixth Form students in both Divisions gained an insight into the World of Work by spending a morning hearing from visitors representing a wide range of professions. The keynote address was given by Old Boy Alex Hilton, Head of Sustainability at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and a further eight alumni from both Divisions were among the twenty-two speakers throughout the morning.


A team of three pupils in the Girls' Division has progressed to the Senior Section of the District Final of the Rotary Club Youth Speaks competition. Their success follows that of a team of Bolton School girls competing in the Intermediate Section, who also won their heat.


Sixth Form students helped Bolton-based Chartered Surveyors Edwards Genesis to celebrate 10 years of being in business by creating artwork for a calendar.

Historacle - a history magazine produced by A Level history students in the Boys' Division - has won the Best School History Magazine prize from the Historical Association for the seventh time. Now in its 10th year and looking towards its 25th edition, Historacle covers a fascinating range of topics and areas.


A group of seven Girls' Division pupils ran for the Bolton Town Team at the recent Greater Manchester Cross Country Championships. These girls helped Bolton to podium positions in the Year 7, Year 9 and Year 10 categories, with impressive individual results as well.


Sixth Form students studying French at A Level enjoyed a day with native speaker Richard Peltier during which they discussed a range of topics. All of the sessions were conducted entirely in French and helped to advance students' fluency and confidence.
