Careers Information and Guidance

'To work together in a supportive, secure and pleasant learning environment that promotes high standards for all, a love and ownership of learning; spiritual growth, best standards of conduct founded on Islamic morals and British values and prepares learners for their role as caring and contributing Muslimahs in modern Britain.'

At Bolton Muslim Girls’ School, we intend to help all learners to achieve their full potential and prepare them for the best possible future, so that they can benefit personally and also help the community that they belong to. Our Careers Programme focuses on raising the aspirations and achievement of individual students and equipping them with skills, attitudes, knowledge and understanding as a foundation for managing their lifelong career and learning. We hope to achieve this by providing the learners with an invaluable Careers Service in Years 8-11.
