About this Behaviour status

We've asked this school for real behaviour figures under Freedom of Information and haven't had a response yet.

Across Bolton: suspensions by reason

Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 69 (1.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.9)
Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
Suspensions for bullying: 36 (0.7 per 1,000 pupils; England 1.0)
Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 15 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.4)
Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)

These are figures for all state schools in Bolton, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.

SEN

No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision

SEN Unit and Resourced Provision

Most mainstream schools don't have a dedicated SEN Unit or Resourced Provision - it isn't a mark against a school that doesn't, just a different kind of setup than one that does.

Pupils on SEN Support: 80.6%
Pupils with an EHC Plan: 19.4%
Data year: 2025/26

These figures show the makeup of the school.

About these SEND figures

These figures give a sense of the makeup of the school - they aren't a judgement on the quality of support provided.
