History

Secondary modern school

The Kirton County Senior School was built in 1879. The first stage was planned to open in September 1955, but opened in January 1956. [3] It was built by Harold H. Adkins Ltd of Boston. Work began in early 1954. [4] In total the cost was £99,942. There were nine acres of playing fields, next to the railway line. The metalwork room had power machinery, and oxy-acetylene welding, and cutting apparatus. [5]

The official opening was on 2 March 1956 by Sir Herbert Butcher, the local MP. There were 332 at the start, which would be over 400 in three years. Building was hoped to be fully complete by July 1956, but it took until the end of 1956. [6] The site was extended by two acres, near the railway line, in the mid 1960s.

In May 1987, the county council committee decided to change the name from Kirton County Secondary School to the Middlecott School, after Sir Thomas Middlecott, a former mayor of Boston. [7]

Academy

It was previously a community school administered by Lincolnshire County Council, but converted to academy status in March 2015. However the school was renamed from Middlecott School to Thomas Middlecott Academy in January 2015. The school has joined other academies as part of the David Ross Education Trust, however the school continues to coordinate with Lincolnshire County Council for its admissions.
