About Mytham Primary School

Mytham Primary School is a mixed state primary in the Bolton local authority, serving children aged 4 to 11. Among the 97 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 44th, placing it just within the top half of Bolton’s schools. The three highest-ranked peers locally are The Olive School, Bolton, The Oaks Primary School, and Beaumont Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the same ranking metric. For families looking closer to home, the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Prestolee Primary School, just 1.2 kilometres away. Mytham itself has been consistently rated Good by Ofsted, most recently confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023, where inspectors judged that the school remains Good. Its previous graded inspection, back in 2012, also awarded Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both rated Good at that time. Headteacher Angela Bogle leads a school of 349 pupils, operating below its capacity of 452, and the school does offer nursery provision for younger children.
