Darul Uloom Bolton is an Islamic independent secondary school in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It was founded in 1993. The Darul Uloom was originally started at Taibah Masjid, Blackburn Road, Bolton where the Dars-e-Nizami was taught until the first class who would later graduate had reached Arbi Dawm (Islamic Theology Year 2) then they had transferred the students over to the Darul Uloom . And since then the Darul Uloom has been running and has been taught at the Darul Uloom itself. The Darul Uloom was originally based at a former Blair Hospital in Bromley Cross, Bolton, which also had a mass of land behind the actual building. In 2006, the council bought the land from the institute to build a new area of houses, so they relocated to a more lively and busy area of Deane, Bolton where it would be easier for activities with in the school to take place, and has been there ever since.
