Is Boston High School part of a Consortium?

Boston High School is part of the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools.

Does Boston High School have a catchment area?

Boston High School does have a catchment area, which is based on distance from the school. However, entry to the school is based firstly on the scores achieved in the 11+ tests.

How Does Place Allocation Work?

Where qualifying applications exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

  1. Pupils in the care of the Local Authority (Looked after children), and those who were in public care but have since ceased to be (Previously looked after children) due to adoption or becoming subject to a residence order or special guardianship order.

  2. Children registered for Pupil Premium defined as those registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (not including Key Stage 1 statutory free school meals).

  3. Siblings of pupils already attending the school at the time of admittance.

  4. Straight line distance as calculated electronically to three figures after the decimal point by Lincolnshire County Council school admissions team from the Post Office Address Point of the home to the Post Office Address Point of the school.
