20 September 2019

Over the summer holidays, a group of Boys' Division students visited South Africa with Operation Wallacea. This unforgettable experience saw them conduct important wildlife and vegetation surveys and discover more about the biology of the local ecosystem in two locations.


It was a magical afternoon for pupils in Years 5 to 7 when author, illustrator and former Children's Laureate Chris Riddell visited Bolton School. He shared pages from his sketchbooks, completed a series of live drawings as he talked about his inspirations and introduced some of the characters and locations from his new book 'Guardians of Magic'.


Record numbers of Sixth Form students are enrolled on the A Level PE course at Bolton School! Now in its twelfth year, the subject continues to go from strength to strength.

Pupils from both Divisions discovered more about careers in  the cyber security sector through fascinating workshops with an industry professional. Emma Kirby of SANS talked to pupils about data breaches and cyber attacks on both large and small scales, and introduced a competition designed to help young people learn new security skills through puzzles.


Don't miss the Careers and Higher Education Convention at Bolton School on Thursday 3 October, 6.30pm - 8.30pm! This is a fantastic opportunity for all local students in Years 9 to 13 to meet representatives from universities and companies, and to attend seminars on a variety of subjects: Law, Medicine, apprenticeships, student finance and Oxbridge application. This event is free and open to everyone.

Looking further ahead, Hallie Rubenhold will visit Bolton School on Thursday 10 October at 7.00pm to give a talk based on her Sunday Times Bestseller 'The Five; The Untold Lives of The Women Killed by Jack the Ripper'. This free, public event promises to reclaim the voices of the Ripper's victims with a focus on facts to tell the surprising and poignant stories of their lives.
