Welcome to Boston High School’s website!

As Headteacher of Boston High School, I am delighted to welcome you to explore our school website, which demonstrates the many strengths of our school community. It is a privilege to work alongside our dedicated staff, supporting and guiding our ambitious students and their families. Together, we share a commitment to excellence and a belief that education should inspire curiosity, nurture talent, and empower every student to achieve their full potential.

For students aged 11–16, we are a selective girls’ grammar school. For students aged 16–18, we offer a mixed Sixth Form with a comprehensive intake, welcoming students from a wide range of backgrounds

Our vision for Boston High School is to be a school of excellence where every student achieves their potential, embraces diversity, thrives academically and personally and contributes positively to society.

This vision is underpinned by our school motto:

Non nobis solum, meaning not for ourselves alone, and now Leading, Learning, Together

LEADING: Leading as individuals and as a community helps you grow in confidence, resilience, and character. Skills that allow you to thrive in school and life.

LEARNING: Learning is at the heart of success. By working hard and aiming high, you can achieve your ambitions and reach your full potential.

TOGETHER: Supporting one another creates an inclusive, caring environment where everyone feels they belong and is valued as part of the school community.

Mrs A-M Franks, Headteacher

Our StoriesExperience Boston High

EMILY YEAR 12
I have had a very positive experience at BHS where I have received endless support through my time being here, whether that be from the SSC (Student Support Centre) or simply from my subject teachers and head of year. Additionally, the school has an infinite number of different opportunities for students to try out such as different sports clubs, music groups, and school trips. Some of the things I’ve been involved in include ski trips, history trips as well as various sports clubs like basketball and volleyball. Not only does this school focus on academic performance, it also ensures a positive and safe environment. 
LAUREN YEAR 13
The Boston High School community is such a friendly environment to be within, and I have found that the supportive staff within our school have made my secondary school experience the best it could have possibly been. We have an amazing support team that are always available to talk to if necessary and will always help a student with any issues that they have, whether that be in school or even outside of school. I am so grateful to have been a part of our school community, and I will cherish the memories I have made throughout my 7 years at our school for the rest of my life.

She will be sadly missed and, we have marked her legacy with the creation of a memorial garden. “Miss Webb remained a friend to our school long after retirement. When she last visited it was a privilege to welcome her back and to spend time with her. My lasting memories will be of a lady who truly dedicated her professional career to the service of young people. Suffice to say, her legacy lives on.” - Mr Fulbrook
