Bolton Schools Outcomes Success: A Year of Remarkable Progress

Bolton’s schools have achieved remarkable success in 2024, with significant improvements across various performance measures. The borough’s Progress 8 score reached its highest ever, surpassing national, Northwest, and statistical neighbour averages.
