WELCOME TOBoston High School

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

MACEY YEAR 11
I am so grateful to be part of our school community because we're lucky enough to have such an amazing student support team that we can access in school. They work hard to ensure we are safe at all times. We also have loads of opportunities for new experiences outside of school such as school trips; I was fortunate enough to go on the ski trip and had the time of my life! It was one of the best moments of my school life, so far.
SCARLETT YEAR 10
I feel very supported at school as people always care. Whether it’s about your future or mental health, there is always someone to talk to. I really like the many clubs you can get involved with - there are so many opportunities such as Greenpower, F1 in Schools, and the school musical. One of my favourite memories was singing at the Royal Albert Hall. It was such a great day and made me closer to my now best friend. I love English as we study such a range of texts and are always encouraged to write our own pieces. I hope to become a journalist; I joined the Young Journalist Academy and that has inspired me to take Journalism further.
FEARNE YEAR 13
My name is Fearne and I am head student at Boston High School. I have been at Boston High School since year 7 and I have really enjoyed my time here. I have had the opportunity to be involved in many beyond the classroom activities, both related to sports and music, as well as academic-based. Thanks to the careers education I have received, I feel prepared to make my post-18 options and I will value everything I've learnt at Boston High School throughout my future career.
EWAN YEAR 12
My time at BHS has been one of the best starts to the school year I have had, with people who want to learn and better themselves. I have gained some new friends since I got to the school, we have developed a strong, close knit group of people. We all help support one another and can rely on teachers when in need.
