I would like to extend a warm welcome to Bolton School's Sixth Form - both to those students within the School who plan to move up from Year 11 and to those who wish to join us from other schools. Hopefully this website will give you an insight into what makes our Sixth Form special.
- Outstanding teaching, facilities and resources which
will allow you to reach your full academic potential
- As a member of the senior section of a large 11-18 year
old school you will have the opportunity to lead, mentor and be
role models for younger students developing invaluable skills for
your future workplace
- Opportunities to develop team-working, leadership and
life skills through an incredible array of extra curricular
activities and through close supervision and pastoral care: we aim
to both challenge and support you
- Expert career guidance and assistance in your
university application which will help you to get to your choice of
university and to secure the job you really want.
Academic standards are high but this is no ivory tower.
Each year more students sit A level exams and, each year, academic
grades improve. Securing good A level grades is no longer enough.
Universities and employers increasingly want to see evidence of
other achievements and interests and your ability to add value to
the community. The range of opportunities on offer to you at Bolton
School is, I believe, second to none and you will have every chance
to pursue interests and follow activities that build your character
and your CV.
The A level years are intensive: they will be hard work
but they will also be fun and will provide you with lifelong
memories. Many Old Boltonians look back upon them as amongst the
best years of their lives.
This is a warm and welcoming place, open to all sections
of the community. It will provide you with the education,
opportunities and preparation to help you to achieve your hopes and
dreams. I urge you to apply, for we offer what you need to help you
realise your full potential.

Headmaster, Bolton School Boys' Division
