Top 30 Best Supportive school environment in Bolton

“An amazing martial arts and fitness centre, run superbly well by the Smith family, really friendly. Teaching kids and adults classes with the focus on self defence, fitness and becoming mentally the best person you can be. Best decision we've made as a family was to bring our son along. He was shy, had emotional issues and lacked any confidence. Two and a half years on he's British and European Kickboxing Champion and Qualified for 3 England teams this year. Can't recommend highly enough.”

“Highly recommended for anyone of any gender or age. Sarah, Barry and the team are extremely welcoming and the sport is human chess. 10/10”

“I have danced at Sandham's Dance Studio's for 14 years and have enjoyed all my classes during this period of time. I have just won the Nationwide Championship Rock 'n' Roll Finals at the Winter Gardens Blackpool. Over the years I have competed at a number of competitions and the support from the teachers here has been outstanding. Elizabeth M”

“Fantastic swim school. My eldest daughter has been swimming for almost 3 yrs now and from a little girl who was very scared of the water she now swims with Judy and is a strong confident swimmer. My 3 year old started in September and is really coming on with her strokes. Fantastic teachers I cannot recommend highly enough. Claire”

“My little boy attends Playdays and we are very happy with the care that he receives. This is a fantastic nursery with excellent facilities. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are focussed on his development and they look at children individually. I would recommend this nursery to family and friends”

“My son has attended Bolton School from the age of 5 and has just finished his A levels. He has lots of opportunities throughout his school life . Although his main extra curricular activities have revolved around sport where he has represented the school at football, cricket, water polo and hockey he has also been stretched into the arts having the opportunity to act, and play the trumpet in concerts. Discipline is strong in the school but I have found it fair. Academically he has progressed and has turned into a well rounded individual. Thank you Bolton School.”

“I wish I could rate this college more than 5 stars as it certainly deserves it. When I first started there, I was shy and insecure regarding my abilities, but with the support of the amazing teachers and the excellent facilities, I saw myself transform into a confident and educated individual. I completed my two years of studies there and I wish I could go back, the experience was more than satisfactory. I would recommend this college to absolutely anybody and cannot stress enough how lucky I feel to have attended this college.”

“the nursery is very good the staff are very nice i have been on my work experience its the best one that is in bolton so far the manager is a very kind woman and i loved it there i would suggest that other children should attend the nursery has a lot to do with amazing children can really say i loved it”

“Excellent school, rated "Outstanding" by OFSTED. If you don't want to take the word of the OFSTED inspectors, ask a parent of a young person that attends the school. The school motto is "Learn, Sparkle, and Shine", and it really comes across in the way the staff interact with both the children and their parents. There seems to be an energy and enthusiasm for both learning and the encouraging every child to maximise their potential. This is a church school with links to the nearby Farnworth St. John's (Church of England); however, the children are encouraged to understand and explore faiths of all varieties. The school offers a wide variety of extra activities after school, such as art, chess, computing, dance, and various sports. There is also a "breakfast club" which allows parents to drop-off children at 8am for a small charge. The staff encourage children to take on additional responsibilities, such as joining the school council, keeping the school tidy, or promoting technology within their class. A wide variety of visits (outside the school) take place each year, both far educational purposes and to enable the children to participate in the wider community. Sports day is a fitting climax to the school year, and the extra effort put in by the staff ensures that all the children (and parents) are kept busy as the class groups rotate through the multiple events taking place at the same time. This is a large (two-form-entry) school that recently extended their buildings, but does not loose any of the personal touch thanks to the dedicated head-teacher and her hard working staff team.”

My children have now been at Spindle point for just over a year and I have nothing but sheer admiration of the staff here. They have done nothing but help my children and this has shown in there work as they have come on in leaps and bounds. I have one child with disabilities who was discrimated against due to this at his previous school, but Spindle Point have been so understanding of his needs and have done nothing but encourage and help him in every way shape and form.”
