Bolton Wanderers Free School was a free school sixth form located in the Lostock area of Bolton in the English county of Greater Manchester.[1]

The sixth form was established by Bolton Wanderers Football Club through the (not for profit) Eddie Davies Education Trust. The sixth form was located in the Macron Stadium; the home stadium of the club.[2]

Bolton Wanderers Free School offered vocational sixth form courses in the areas of Sports, Health & Social Care, Business, Public Services and Childcare. Courses offered include BTECs at level 1, 2 and 3.[3]

Bolton Wanderers Free School closed in July 2017 as a result of low pupil numbers, which led the school's trustees to deem it "not financially viable".[4]
