There has never been a better time to work at BMGS than now. This is no ordinary school. There are many excellent schools around, but they all have a very different feel. We are a lovely school with a genuine ‘feel good factor’ throughout. BMGS is an ambitious and caring community, committed to fulfilling the gifts of each student, reflected in the School’s mission statement. Our mission is summed up by 3 words, Success for All, which underpin what we’re all about.

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.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone wishing to further develop their career and join a passionate department that aim to provide a positive learning experience for their students.

BMGS has a very positive, family friendly atmosphere. The staff care passionately about the well-being of the girls and our learners are vibrant, enthusiastic, and pleasant. The concept of community is something that we believe is essential for a successful school and we all strive to ensure that every member of our community feels valued, but also contributes positively to School life. Of course, we take great pride in our outcomes and a primary focus will always be the superb First Quality teaching and learning across all areas of the school. However, learners can only learn effectively when they are well equipped to do so, and so high-quality pastoral care is essential. 

"Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Most pupils meet these expectations. Classrooms are calm and orderly places. Pupils settle to their work and behave very well in lessons" Ofsted December 2022

"Pupils are exceptionally keen to do well in class. Their concentration in lessons helps them to learn and remember more" Ofsted December 2022
