THE SCHOOL AND ITS HISTORY Our school is a Church of England Aided Primary School in the Diocese of Bradford within Lancashire Education Authority. Bolton-by-Bowland is a very picturesque village in the Ribble Valley. 8 miles from Clitheroe. The present attractive stone building was built by the villagers in 1874, although there has been a school in the village since the early 17th century.
In the 1970s the interior of the building was renovated to provide additional space for each classroom. In the 1980s the school and local community mounted a successful campaign to ensure its survival, despite a national review of small school which resulted in many closures. In 1992 the building was further extended with a mezzanine floor in the main hall to provide a large balcony which is used as a library and computer suite. In 2004 the building was further extended to the one you see today.
