Education

Bolton is home to a leading independent day school, Bolton School, whose Boys' Division originated in around 1516. It was endowed by Robert Lever in 1641 and again by William Hesketh Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1898, allowing it to be rebuilt alongside a new Girls' Division on its current site in Chorley New Road.

Bolton also has its own modern university, the University of Bolton. Formerly Bolton Institute of Higher Education, it finally gained university status in 2005 and has seen much building work and growth since.

The town also contains a host of primary and secondary schools such as Canon Slade School, Thornleigh Salesian College, Mount St Joseph School, St James's School and Turton High School Media Arts College (motto: Integrity and Honour), although some are in special measures. Bolton also has a community college which provides further education to many in the borough and has many sites throughout, as well as Bolton Sixth Form College, which comprises North and South campuses.

Harper Green School is also located in Bolton. Harper Green is home to the Alan Ball Sports Hall, as well as the Peter Kay Drama Complex. Peter Kay also filmed a music video at Harper Green with the Scottish band Texas.

The Bolton Teaching and Learning Centre serves schools as a central point for online materials.

The Bolton Steam Museum is located here and has several restored working steam engines.
