The Bolton School Sixth Form Centre was engineered to fit-in with the existing Grade II listed buildings which make up the original parts of the school. The Riley Sixth Form Centre features a new common room, IT suite, café, multi-use study spaces and outdoor areas. The central quadrangle, now completely car-free and pedestrianised to completes Lord Leverhulme’s original vision for the school based on the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
Following the £5 million build, the new centre will, for the first time, bring together Sixth Form girls and boys under one roof and will provide the best of both worlds, where students share the new facilities but continue to benefit from a single-sex education.
