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, extensive sports fields as well as the Leverhulme Sports Pavilion and its adjoining tennis and netball courts.  Pupils also enjoy our out-of-school and holiday club, Kidzone

Off-campus, pupils make use of our own outdoor pursuits facility at Patterdale Hall on the shores of Lake Ullswater in the Lake District and of the School's 60ft yacht, Tenacity of Bolton.

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.

In September 2010 Junior Girls moved into their state-of-the art new school
