Welcome to Bolton Brow Primary Academy

Welcome to Bolton Brow Primary Academy

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our school.

Bolton Brow Primary Academy is a thriving and successful school with a proud history dating back to 1896. As one of the first converter academies, and now a valued partner within the Together Learning Trust, we have embraced change across the educational landscape. This has enabled us to make significant improvements to both our learning environment and our approach to teaching and learning, ensuring the highest standards for every child. These developments are having a clear and positive impact on attainment, progress and—just as importantly—our pupils’ enthusiasm, engagement and love of learning.

At its heart, Bolton Brow is a family school. Generations of families have passed through our doors, and we are proud of the strong connections within our community. Our children are truly special—enthusiastic, caring and passionate about their school. They regularly tell us how much they enjoy coming to school, and it was our pupils who created our much-loved slogan: “Proud to be Brow!”

Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to nurture every child and create a welcoming, supportive and inspiring environment. Like our pupils, they too are “Proud to be Brow!” We are also fortunate to benefit from incredibly supportive parents and carers, whose involvement plays a key role in the life and development of the academy.

Our Governing Body is a committed and ambitious team that provides both unwavering support and appropriate challenge. They share our vision for excellence and are deeply invested in securing the very best outcomes for all our children.

We are proud to work collaboratively within the Sowerby Bridge Primary Schools cluster, building strong partnerships with local authority schools, church schools and academies. These partnerships enable us to continually enhance our provision for current and future generations of Brow pupils.

I joined the school in 2009 as Deputy Headteacher, and it has been a privilege to serve as Headteacher for over a decade. I remain incredibly proud of all that we have achieved together as a school community.

I am confident that if you and your child join Bolton Brow Primary Academy, you will quickly feel part of our community - and very soon be able to say with pride:
“Proud to be Brow!”

If you would like further information or wish to arrange a visit, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We would be delighted to speak with you.

Best wishes

Paul Kelesidis
Headteacher
