Individual English Schools: Bolton School


Figure 1.--There appears to be a strong Scout program at the school. Here is the Bolton School Scout Troop in 1965. For some reason the image was labeled Barons Court.

The Bolton School is an independent or private school located in Lancashire. Bolton is near Manchester in northern England. The school has an excellent website, but there is not a good overview of the school. As with many English schools, it has a very early formation as a grammar school. The school website has an especially good historical overview of the school. It has evolved into an independent school covering a full range of primary and secondary ages. This means an infants and junior school for pre-prep and preparatory age children and a senior school for the secondary level. As with many full term colleges, the junior school ends at age 11 rather than at 13 like a stand-alone prep school. There is a separate girls division which I assume means the schools offers programs for both boys and girls, but the programs are separated. There appears to be a strong Scout program at the school.
