 We had an Ofsted visit in Dec 2022 and school has been judged Requires Improvement. The new Ofsted framework emphasise more on a rich and varied curriculum and how it is taught than pupil progress and attainment in GCSEs. Regardless of current Ofsted grading of Requires Improvement, the school has continued to maintain its ranking in the top 20% nationally for Progress 8. The school’s GCSE results have been top of the borough for the last five consecutive years. The school has a track record of sustainable school improvements, and are looking to strengthen our team in the future.

Bolton Muslim Girls’ School is always over-subscribed with first choice applications. To meet with the growing demands for places and due to school’s popularity as a high achieving school, the school had been successful in securing a capital funding for expansion in 2019. The additional capacity resulted in 30 additional places in Yr.7 with effect from 2020. The school will have 750 pupils on roll by September 2024. It is an exciting time at Bolton Muslim Girls’ School. The increased pupil population and recent Ofsted outcome has generated more career opportunities for staff through the review of the current curriculum and staffing structure. We are will continue to expand them further through the development of the third floor and Ground Floor of the Mill Building.
