Welcome from the Principal

Assalamo Alaikum

A warm and enthusiastic welcome to Eden Boys’ School, Bolton, a vibrant and dynamic hub of learning and growth. Here, our young people are the pulsating heart of our endeavours, and their well-being remains at the forefront of every decision we make. As the Principal of this esteemed Muslim faith school, it is my great honour and privilege to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all students, parents, staff, and visitors who have chosen to be a part of our learning family. Our school is a place where young minds are nurtured, talents are honed, and dreams take flight.  At Eden Boys’ School, Bolton, we embrace the teachings of Islam as the foundation of our educational journey.

Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where students can flourish academically, spiritually, and morally. We believe that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about developing strong character, empathy, and a sense of responsibility towards oneself and society.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ‘The best among you in Islam are those with the best manners,” (Saheeh Bukhari) and another hadith says: “The most beloved of people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people.” (Musnad Ahmad)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) encouraged the virtues of being beneficial and helpful to others and encouraged Muslims to engage in acts of kindness and service, seeking to benefit their fellow human beings and earn the pleasure of Allah.

At Eden Boys’ School, Bolton, we firmly believe that education goes beyond textbooks and exams. We strive to create a stimulating and inclusive environment where students can explore their interests, discover their passions, and develop critical thinking skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Our team of dedicated educators is not just committed to imparting knowledge, but also to fostering a love for learning. They are passionate about guiding our students towards becoming well-rounded individuals who embrace challenges, value diversity, and embody integrity and respect. We strive to instil Islamic values in our students, helping them become confident, compassionate, and well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to the world around them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The believers with the most complete faith are those with the most excellent character.” (Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

OUR VISION is Nurturing Today’s Young People, Inspiring Tomorrow’s Leaders

OUR STAR VALUES are Service, Teamwork, Ambition, and Respect

At our school, we prioritize community service and respect, instilling a sense of responsibility in our students to improve their communities. We promote Fundamental British Values while embracing the friendliness and diversity of Bolton. We welcome students from all faiths and backgrounds, aiming for each individual to become a well-rounded British citizen and a proud Boltonian. Regardless of their faith or background, we aspire for every student to be ambitious, well-qualified, and committed to serving others, striving to be the best version of themselves in all aspects of life. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather he looks at your hearts and actions”. (Saheeh Muslim)

Our emphasis on community service and respect will keep our students grounded – understanding their individual and collective responsibilities and the important role they have to play in improving their communities. We promote Fundamental British Values, spiced with the friendliness and diversity that is a hallmark of Bolton and Boltonians. We welcome applications from pupils of all faiths and none.

Listening to our Parents, Students, Staff and Community

We believe in the power of collaboration between the school, parents, and the community. Together, we can create a nurturing environment that empowers our students to reach their full potential. We recognize the essential role parents and the community play in a child’s education. Together, we form a partnership to ensure the success and well-being of our students.
