In the first instance, parental concerns about the welfare or
academic progress of their son should be raised with his Form
Teacher. More serious issues may then be referred to the Head of
Year or Head of Section. However, in emergencies, or where an issue
may be particularly urgent, the Headmaster's Secretary may be a
more appropriate contact.
If an issue relates to a specific subject, it is likely that the
subject teacher will respond. All parents will receive written
feedback on academic progress at least twice a year and there is an
annual consultation evening, where face to face contact is
arranged. The Headmaster writes to all parents at the end of each
term, enclosing a list of key dates for the coming year. The School
Newsletter is produced three times a year and the School
Magazine, The Boltonian, will be sent home each Autumn Term.
The Headmaster is keen to emphasise the importance of consulting
parents. He holds a Parents' Forum each term, to which all parents
are invited, so that they can seek his response to any issue they
may wish to raise from the floor. Alternatively, parents are
encouraged to telephone or e-mail their queries, so that he can
respond in person. Personal appointments can be arranged by
contacting the Headmaster's Secretary, Mrs Mari Leather, on 01204
840201, e-mail hm@boys.bolton.sch.uk.
