We are proud to be a community Primary School, serving our diverse local area. We work hard to create a safe and happy learning environment, where everyone is respected and included. As a small school, we get to know our families well and provide learning experiences carefully tailored to the needs of our children. We serve a diverse community and our curriculum is designed to reflect this, giving children the skills to become resilient and independent learners, who will thrive in today’s society.
We have high expectations of children’s learning and behaviour and provide them with a high level of pastoral care to promote their personal development as they move through school.
We are committed to developing positive relationships with our families, the local community and external agencies so that we can support our children in fulfilling their potential.
We hope you can find everything you need to know on our school website – you can use the Google translate bar at the top of this page if you would like to read our information in another language.
If you have enquiries at all, either as a parent or a member of the general public, please contact us on 01204 333724 or office@gilnow.bolton.sch.uk. We warmly welcome visitors and volunteers and would be happy to show you around our school.

The Gilnow Family Vision:
We have a calm, friendly school and we make everybody feel welcome.
We put the needs of our children first at all times.
We are always finding ways to make things even better and we work hard as a team to overcome any problems we may face.
We show kindness and respect at all times and we are tolerant and patient when we do not understand something.
We are proud to be at the heart of the Gilnow community, having high expectations of each other and ourselves…. we use our words and our actions to make a positive difference to those around us.
We try our very best, every day, and we help each other to believe in ourselves at all times.
