At the risk of many replies telling me that “independent schools can afford it” I do object to the logic here that those young people who are in independent schools are not being fully included in what is, after all, an NHS activity.

For every full fee payer @BoltonSchool there is a direct benefit to the state of the £5k it does not have to spend on a place in education. Effectively that is very nearly a 40% “surcharge”. So I think those parents have done their bit for state funds without talk of VAT

Pleased to be able to tell the positive story of how Bolton and its schools have pulled together to focus on young people in the last few weeks

The @BoltonSchool Virtual School project had a good start yesterday. The odd improvement to make but overall the vast majority of boys had a busy day “at school”. I think we can settle in to the new normal in the 6 days remaining before the Easter holiday.

Delighted to have 152 acceptances for the Year 7 of 2019. I hope they all enjoy the last terms of Y6 and are a credit to their current schools and then look forward to meeting them later in the summer at induction day

Wishing all the @BoltonSchool boys and their families a relaxing and refreshing Christmas break - it will be different this year, but do find ways of recharging

Today the ever flexible @BoltonSchool estates department helped me escort a squirrel from the premises when it was found scampering down the corridor. There is always a first time for everything!

A well spent hour cheering competitors in the iron man. We saw Mr Watkinson and Mr Jackson running and Mrs Cotton go past in her bike. Well done to everyone.
