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 an Outstanding school, the school has been successful in securing a capital funding for expansion. The additional capacity will result in 30 additional places with effect from 2020. The school will be raising its Year 7 intake from 120 to 150 from Sept 2020. The school will subsequently grow incrementally each year thereafter. The increased pupil population will enable the school to review the current staffing structure and create further career opportunities for staff.

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.

This school is looking for someone who is dynamic in the classroom with the ability to differentiate the learning material to a range of ability levels.

Bolton Muslim Girls’ School has been the top school in the Borough for the five consecutive years.

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. All DT facilities are currently located on the second floor of the Mill Building adjacent to the school and we will continue to expand them further through the development of the third floor and Ground Floor of the Mill Building.

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.
