Boston Grammar School

Boston Grammar School is an educational institution at South End in Boston, Lincolnshire, comprising multiple buildings with a historic library section from 1567. The school educates boys aged 11 to 16 and offers a mixed sixth form program for students aged 16 to 18.

The school was founded by royal charter in 1555 under Philip II of Spain, making it one of the oldest educational institutions in Lincolnshire. This long history has shaped how the school operates and is viewed in the region.

The school is divided into four houses named after figures important to its past: Laughton, Muston, Gannock, and Parry. This system shapes how students experience community and social bonds throughout their time here.

The school is located at South End with multiple buildings arranged across the site for different age groups. Most areas have limited access during the school day, so plan visits for designated times when the campus is more open to the public.

Students receive a half-day holiday each year on Beast Mart, celebrating a tradition linked to the historical cattle market that once operated in the school yard. This custom keeps a piece of the school's past alive in modern times.
