Bolton Muslim Girls School
Bolton, BL3 6TQ · Bolton · secondary school
1st of 19 secondary schools in Bolton we can score, 20 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.8/10 against 545 of them, against 8.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 60.0 · 82 | 46% | 3.80 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 1.06 · 98 | 38% | 3.78 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 54.7 · 84 | 15% | 1.30 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 54.7, compared to the national median of 44.6.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access clubs including Minecraft Education, 3d Design, Cooking, and Zooniverse, alongside arts activities such as Embroidery, British Sign Language, and Henna Painting.
Getting in. The school has 752 pupils in a capacity of 750, meaning it is over capacity by 2. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the 2-place overage in daily operations? What support is available for pupils who need extra help to maintain their progress scores? How do you ensure all students can access the wide range of arts and club activities?
