A Bolton School student has had an article publish in a prominent history magazine.

A Level historian Aadam Patel was delighted to see his article about the rise and fall of the remote Pacific island of Nauru published in the latest edition of The Historian, the magazine of the Historical Association.

The Year 13 student's work featured alongside that of professional historians and academics, and was selected by the panel of the Young Historian Awards from hundreds of submissions from schools across the UK.

A spokesperson for Bolton School said: "It is only the second time that an article from the Boys' Division's Sixth Form magazine, The HistOracle, has been selected for national publication in the 12 years that it has been going to press, although the School has won the award for Best Sixth Form Magazine numerous times."

Aadam chose the subject of Nauru as he thought it would make an interesting case study.

He is hoping to study law at The University of Manchester.
