An exciting time in education for the young people of Bolton.
Our mission
INDEPENDENT LEARNERS

INTELLECTUAL HABITS
Such as fierce concentration, thoroughness, accuracy, reflection, strategic thinking and intellectual volition in all that they undertake.
STRONG CHARACTERS
Who develop clear established principles that acted upon consistently, produce virtuous behaviour, compassionate acts and honest answers and decisions in facing up to life’s challenges.
SUCCESSFUL CITIZENS
Who, through communication and other relevant academic and social activities, make a positive impact on the academy and eventually their community and the wider world.
A ‘values-based’ Approach To Education
Looking for something in particular?
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
