This is a magnificent school, but it is no ivory tower.  It is a warm and friendly place, open to all sections of the community, where pupils are happy and safe.  There are high expectations of them, but I want them to leave Bolton School with the conviction that everything they strive for is possible.  They will explore exciting and extensive opportunities, be encouraged to be inquisitive and to innovate, to face challenge and show leadership, and to be a force for good in the community.

Academic success is not enough.  This school provides pupils with the broad educational experience which prepares them for a world where changing jobs is the norm and where leisure time is on the increase.  A reference from Bolton School really means something.  I believe that pupils enjoy their time here and leave as self confident young men who will make the most of what is to come.

Do come to see for yourself;  I shall be delighted to welcome you.
