After taking GCSE examinations at the end of Year 11, most
Bolton School students enter the Sixth Form (Upper School) for a
two-year course in Advanced GCE. Each year the Sixth Form also
welcomes about 10 new students from other schools. There is a good
atmosphere in the Sixth Form and throughout the whole of the School
and new students are welcomed and find themselves quickly settling
into the School environment.
We offer a wide range of advanced courses and every effort is
made to cater for individual subject selections, provided that
these are sensible, and clearly lead somewhere worthwhile. Our aim
is to design a programme which offers the greatest flexibility and
opportunity for individual success. Full details of the courses and
arrangements are given in our booklet "Beyond GCSE", which is
revised annually, copies are available from the School Office
(email the Headmaster's Secretary, seniorboys@boltonschool.org).
We are treated as young adults. A close relationship with
teachers helps create a relaxed atmosphere.
Nick, Year 13
