Welcome to your virtual visit to Bolton School
A Message from the Heads
Under normal circumstances, we always enjoy having families come and visit us but this academic year we have had to do things a little differently. Earlier in the school year, we held a virtual Open Day, virtual Sixth Form Open Evenings and several Senior School Virtual Taster Days, all of which proved very popular. We also ran some socially distanced tours of the School.
Our Entrance Testing Day for entry in Y3 or Y7 in September 2021 was held on 14 January. We still have some availability in specific year groups in our Nursery, Infant and Junior Schools. Please call 01204 840201 for further information.
You can learn lots more about our Nursery, Infant, Junior and Senior Schools from the videos and links as you scroll down this page.
