History

Boston College opened in 1964 to provide A-level courses for those not attending the town's two grammar schools.

In 2007 a scheme for college redevelopment on West Street was abandoned through a lack of usable space. [2] In 2008 the college planned for a £79m expansion of the college to replace the Skirbeck Road and Mill Road sites. [3] A smaller redevelopment of the Skirbeck Road site was undertaken, funded by selling the building on Mill Road. [4] [5] The Mill Road building at the east of Boston was a former De Montfort University campus, and before that, Kitwood Boys School, now Haven High Academy. The adjacent Mill Road sports fields were not included in the sale. [6] [7]

The college is currently spread over five sites: [8]
