Adam Crook A BOLTON School old boy who has been made a partner at Goldman Sachs is ensuring young people can benefit from the first class education he received. Adam Crook, who left the school in 1992, has donated £100,000 so four students, who would otherwise not have been able to afford it, can attend Bolton School boys’ sixth form. The donation has been arranged through the Goldman Sachs (GS) Gives Fund. The fund can be used by partners at their discretion to support charities and projects which meet key criteria, including social mobility – a key priority for the school. The boys selected will have their fees paid in full by the Adam Crook/Goldman Sachs Gives Bursary grant.
