"Outstanding School - Excellent Support"

I've been really impressed with the support from the teachers and staff at The Bolsover School. My child has thrived in their Duke of Edinburgh award program and the home learning has been well-structured. The school's focus on widening experiences is great and I've noticed a significant improvement in my child's confidence.

"Wonderful School - Highly Recommended"

I'm so grateful for the experience my children had at The Bolsover School. The careers events were particularly well-organised and my child has secured a great apprenticeship as a result. The staff were always approachable and supportive, and I've seen the values of the school really shine through in my child's attitude and behaviour.

"Mixed Experience - Great Potential"

While I've been impressed with some aspects of The Bolsover School, such as the facilities and commitment to equality and diversity, I've had some concerns about the consistency of teaching. My child has mentioned feeling a bit overwhelmed at times, but the staff have been responsive to my emails and we're working together to address the issues.
