Strong partnership and communication between parents and school
is very important to us and allows us to preserve the School's
tradition of community spirit.
Parents receive regular written reports on their child and are
invited to consultation evenings and forums. They attend sporting,
drama and musical events and many parents become actively involved
in the Parents' Associations. This allows them to support and help
their child's school, to keep abreast of all the latest happenings
and to meet up with other parents. The Associations run a number of
social events throughout the year as well as occasional workshops
relating to Personal and Social Education issues. Parents involve
themselves in School life in a variety of other ways - by acting as
hosts to their child's foreign exchange partners, by offering
placements for work experience and work sampling or by joining the
Parents' Choir.

If you are a parent who is considering sending your child to
Bolton School, you may wish to ask current parents a
question.
Bolton School is very special to me because of the total
education it gives the pupils. Other schools can provide an
excellent academic education but Bolton School does far more than
this. It also develops the pupils' social skills, builds their self
confidence through the Patterdale Hall outdoor pursuits programme,
encourages them to take full advantage of all the sporting
facilities and provides a myriad of extra curricular activities
that are probably more diverse than at any other school in the
country. By the time they leave school they have become rounded
individuals, well equipped to face the challenges of the modern
world.
