Every Old Boy automatically becomes a member of the Old Boltonians' Association when they leave the Boys' Division in Year 13. Through this membership, Alumni can remain connected with their classmates, the wider Old Boy community and with the School. 

Many Old Boys generously give their time to talk to current pupils about their careers and experiences since leaving the Boys' Division. These stories of Old Boys' life journeys continue to inspire current pupils, who find the advice offered invaluable. Click here to find out more.

Old Boys also generously volunteer as mentors for their fellow Alumni, through the Old Boltonians' Association's Find Your Path programme.

To feature in The Bugle, share your news with School, find out about upcoming Alumni events and to re-connect with old School friends, please do get in touch with the Development Office.

Distinguished Old Boys

Our list of Distinguished Old Boys has been compiled to celebrate the achievements of our Alumni, and the success that they have enjoyed across a wide variety of professions and sectors, and to demonstrate the positive impact a Bolton School education can have on an individual in their later life.

If you would like to nominate an Old Boy to be added to the Distinguished List, please contact the Development Office at [email protected].
