Boston Grammar School

Good luck to all those sitting the 11+ this morning!

A reminder to parents of Y6 pupils who have signed up to sit the 11+.

The tests take place on the mornings of the 13th and 20th September. Tests take place in your child’s own primary school where they will feel most relaxed and comfortable.

Good luck to everyone sitting the test this Friday!

This weekend our Silver DofE group went to the Peak District.

Despite some challenging weather conditions on day two and three, they all managed to navigate from checkpoint to checkpoint and pass their expedition.

Well done boys! Next stop, gold!

It’s September! We all know what that means.

Thank you to all the boys who joined us for our Y7 transition summer school this week. We hope you all had a wonderful time and we look forward to welcoming you back for the start of term next week.

The summer school was a real success, pupils who attended had a chance to take part in a range of activities that helped familiarise them with the school and make new friends.

For anyone who was unable to attend, don’t worry, Wednesday’s induction day is another chance to settle in before the rest of the school returns on Thursday!

September Arrangements

Wednesday 4th September will be an Induction Day for Years 7 and 12 only.

Thursday 5 September all other pupils, entering Years 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 return to school and lessons.

The reason for this is to improve the transition / induction arrangements for pupils new to the school. We believe that this will help Year 7 and 12 pupils to settle into the school more effectively.

We hope you have all had a lovely summer and are ready and refreshed for the new academic year.

Congratulations to Boston Grammar School's students and staff for another year of remarkable GCSE results.

After the recent outstanding performance at A-level, the diligence of students and staff at Boston Grammar School has delivered further success, in terms of impressive GCSE results. Parental support has also been massively important in students' successes and everyone's hard work is greatly appreciated. Students and their teachers have worked conscientiously throughout the last two years, demonstrating determination and perseverance.

All of our students' achievements deserve to be admired and celebrated. What matters most is that they take every opportunity and strive to fulfil their potential, whilst we teach and support them. Students face many pressures and the anxiety caused by examinations should not be overlooked. They should be commended for the way that they have conducted themselves throughout their time at BGS.

There were superb performances from Raja Balben, Aston Beagles, Paul Bullamore, Kristofers Bumeisters, Alfie Doughty, Jack Emery, Kacper Frankowski, Zaid Gatta, Ryan Murray, Mahd Murtaza, Nehan Naeem, Callum Newby, Tudor Obreja, Kaius Rakauskas, Vasanthan Sarvananthan, Syed Shahbaz, Cezar Stamate and Dawid Scymiczek.

Our congratulations go to all students, parents and staff who worked so hard to make these impressive successes possible!

Good luck to everyone receiving their results on Thursday!

…and we’re home!

A massive thank you to Mr Anderson for organising!

Thank you to all the staff who gave up their time to help and pretended to laugh at his jokes.

And of course a big thank you to all the boys for being so wonderful. Such a fantastic group to spend 5 days of the holiday with!

Can I sleep now? 😴

French Trip: Day 4 and a bit of 5…

Yesterday the boys had lots of free time in Ypres and then the Bellewaerde Theme Park, so not many photo opportunities, but we made up for it this morning with an epic archery battle at the chateau! 🏹

We’ve just reached Calais on the long journey home. See you all soon (ish).

French Trip: Day 3.

It was a day full of history and taking the time to reflect.

Parents can be very proud of the boys today. Their behaviour in the Tyne Cot Cemetery was exemplary and their respectful approach was commented on by the volunteers there.

One more full day left before it’s time to make the journey home!

French Trip: Day 2

An underground city, free time in the old town of Boulogne, a trip to the beach, an extremely loud sing-a-long on the coach back to base, followed by cheese tasting at the chateau. Day 2 was a busy one! Is it time for bed yet?

After an extremely early start, the French trip made it across the channel with no delays. The afternoon was spent getting up close and personal with some friendly goats and in the evening the boys got the chance to show off their whisking (and French speaking) skills in a crepe making session at the chateau.

A great first day!

Final school day of the year and it was time for the annual student v staff puddox game.

Staff won 82-53 but 10G put on a great show.

Well done everyone!

Year 12 Physics students attended the Food and Drink Engineering Course hosted by the University of Lincoln, where they explored the application of automation & robotics within the food industry.

Today was the last day of our Food Technology sessions for this year.

Over a number of weeks all students in Year 7 and 8 have had the opportunity to take part.

A big thank you to Mr Blackman and Mrs Clarricoates for delivering the sessions, and thank you to Haven High for allowing us the use of their amazing facilities.

It's been a great week for Year 8!

An end of year celebration assembly and a reward trip to the cinema. It's starting to feel like the end of term...

Congratulations to all those who were recognised for their hard work this year.

A group of Year 10 students had a fantastic time at The Port and Logistics career day. Workshops were delivered by Port of Boston, East Midlands Railway, Freshlinc and Culina. Students were also fortunate to be given a Boston United stadium tour.

Yesterday was race day at Blyton Park! Our first ever GREENPOWER event with over 30 teams competing. We came a respectable 10th in our second race and the team had a thoroughly awesome day. Preparations are already under way to develop the team for 2024/25 so watch this space.

They did it!

It was a week of ups and downs… up fell and down dale. Not to mention paddling through the tarns.

Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition completed and passed!

Congratulations to our intrepid quartet - Akul, Carter, Jack, and Logan
