Our Facilities

Bolton School boasts some magnificent facilities.

The School combines 500 years of tradition with state-of-the-art equipment.  The Senior Boys' and Girls' Schools are housed in an attractive, listed building of pink sandstone and oak interiors and both have their own impressive Great Halls, libraries, Sixth Form Common Rooms and spacious wood-panelled hallways and corridors.  Each school utilises the very latest technological equipment including interactive whiteboards, technology suites with CAD equipment, music suites, art studios, theatres, science laboratories, computer rooms with internet access in addition to PCs in classrooms.  They share our award-winning Careers' Department.

As all our schools are situated within our attractive 32 acre wooded campus they benefit from our site's many joint facilities, including the Arts Complex, a Sports Hall, the comprehensive gymnasium in the Tillotson Pavilion, a 25 metre swimming pool, a climbing wall, 32 acres of sports fields as well as the Leverhulme Sports Pavilion and its adjoining tennis courts.  Off-campus, pupils make use of our own outdoor pursuits facility at Patterdale Hall on the shores of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District.

In June 2009, infants moved into their new £5m school.

In November 2009, the Junior Boys' School celebrated the completion of a £1.5 building project which saw a new extension being built and extensive refurbishments.

You can watch the construction of the new Junior Girls' School, due for completion by September 2010.

The School shares its outstanding facilities in a variety of ways and it is also possible to hire out many parts of the School - be it for sports events, weddings and conferences or for outdoor education at Patterdale Hall in the Lake District or sailing on the School's own 60ft yacht.  The School's own fleet of coaches and mini-buses can also be hired out.  Visit the BSSL website to see the full range of the School's commercial activities.
