Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox school Boston College is a predominantly further education college in Boston in Lincolnshire, England. It is a Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) for Early Years Care.[1]

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]
