About High Lawn Primary

As our motto, ‘Opportunity and Achievement’ suggests, we aim to provide every child with a wide range of opportunities to succeed.  We deliver an exciting and ‘unique’ curriculum, one which stimulates children’s imagination and helps them to develop a love for learning and a thirst for knowledge!  We enrich the curriculum in many ways providing opportunities for children to further their knowledge and skills whilst at the same time learn by having fun!  Each year, we organise a wide range of educational trips and visitors to school, as well as a long list of after school clubs.  Together, we regularly celebrate children’s achievements whether success has come as part of a team or as an individual. 

We work very closely with our parents/carers to make sure that we are meeting the needs of every individual child in school.  In addition to this, we have very strong links with other agencies in Bolton helping us to provide the right support for children and families at the right time.
