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 lack of usable space. In 2008 the college planned for a £79m expansion of the college to replace the Skirbeck Road and Mill Road sites. A smaller redevelopment of the Skirbeck Road site was undertaken, funded by selling the building on Mill Road. 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.

The college is spread over four sites:

  • Rochford Campus — engineering workshops, beauty therapy, swimming facilities and halls of resident for 200 overseas students. Skirbeck Road, next to the River Witham and the Boston Leisure Centre.
