1964

The Opening of Boston College

On 7th September 1964, Boston College welcomed the first cohort of 150 students and 24 teaching staff, under the leadership of Alan Moon as Principal. The following year, Boston College was officially opened by Alderman Sir Francis Hill, C.B.F, M.A., Litt.D. 

“It was the best job I ever had. It was such an exciting new development for the town at the time, and as a young girl it was amazing to be involved in its introduction.”

“Following an Agricultural Engineering Apprenticeship, I got a job in the Motor Vehicle Department when Boston College first opened in 1964. I taught Mechanics for 21 years and now some of my students have returned and are teaching students today. It is amazing to see students returning to the College as lecturers.”

In the first year, the College offered just 19 courses that were all paid for in cash, and only 7 of these courses were full time. For Apprentices, there were a range of 'Day Release' courses available if they were released by their employer for 1 day per week to attend college to gain their qualification - very similar to most Apprenticeship courses today.

A Levels have been a popular choice at Boston College since the very beginning. Over the years, the College has built a strong reputation for offering a wide range of A Level subjects, attracting students from diverse backgrounds who are keen to pursue Higher Education or specialised career paths.

“I had two very happy years at Boston College and left with the relevant qualifications to lead to a BSc (Econ) Hons degree from the University of Nottingham. My fondest memories are the kindliness and commitment of the staff who taught me. Boston College gave me a sense of freedom and the confidence to do things differently.

I went on to lead a varied life – first teaching in London, then moving to live and work in Vienna, Austria. I travelled in Africa and the Middle East, and I lived in Mani, Greece, before going back to England to work at Oxfam. I then went to university again, gaining a MSc from Bath University and a PhD from the Open University, studying the Indian textiles and garments industries. For 25 years, I became a permanent resident in Australia, working in the Political Economy Department at Sydney University.”

“Boston College taught me a lot of very valuable things over my time there. Firstly, it gave me independence as I moved away from home to live and study there; it also taught me how to be a team player; and I also developed leadership skills – all qualities that proved essential to my career in teaching.”

1970

Boston College has always welcomed students of any age, with some of the course hours fitting in with school hours or a part-time job. Some of the Adult Bite-size courses available today were part of the original course offerings of 'Evening Classes', including 'Introduction to Cake Making and Baking'. Whereas some courses have been updated as a sign of progression into the modern day, including 'Touch Typewriting for Adults' which was the equivalent to today's 'Basic ICT'.

“To sign up to a course, you used to just turn up on the evening and queue to enrol, the queues would be huge!” 

1980

David Pursell becomes Principal

In 1986, Alan Moon passed the torch of being Principal to David Pursell, who turned up on his first day in a plaster cast!

Whilst David was Principal, the College bought the land that is now home to the Accommodation, the Goodliffe Centre, and the BCUC. When being taken to look at the land, Vice Principal at the time, Janet Hemmant recalls, "I distinctly remember climbing the gate to go and look at what was a field full of nettles!".

Boston College Principal David Pursell (1986-2001)

In the 1980's, Boston College was offering more than 70 courses, which was more than anywhere else in the area, and welcomed more than 750 full time students through its doors.

Apprenticeships became even more popular in the 1980s and provided opportunities for students wanting to study work-based courses and progress into careers within industries, such as: Motor Vehicle, Hairdressing, Beauty Therapy, Construction, Carpentry and Joinery, and Plumbing.

In March 1989, the College introduced the provision of University Level courses, meaning that students could continue with their studies into Higher Education locally and at a reasonable cost.

“Boston College provided me with the self-motivation and work ethic to build a successful career. I became an Advertising Director working with brands such as Estée Lauder, Tom Ford and Carlsberg.”

Looking through the archives of the College’s history has shown that working in conjunction with local businesses has always been a key part of the Boston College mission – to inspire lifelong learning, growing people to be their brilliant best, energising our communities and brightening all our futures. The excellent links that the College has with local employers enables students to gain real-life experience and a true insight into the industry they aim to progress in to. Whether it’s sourcing work experience placements, supporting the employment process to gain an Apprenticeship, or inviting employers into the College to hold engaging workshops – the College ensures that students are given the opportunities to prepare them for the world of work!

The students and staff of Boston College have consistently been an important part of the local community over the years, with endless charity efforts from numerous bake sales to a fancy dress hospital bed push across the town, as well as hosting many events welcoming local families, businesses, and even hosting the Mayor’s Annual Civic Dinner.

1990

The Building of the Halls of Residence

In 1993, the College invested into supporting students with living facilities at the Rochford Campus in Boston. The Halls of Residence were built with the purpose of supporting students with commuting costs, providing them a place to stay on campus while they study. While the College had many international students, the Halls of Residence provided a place for these students to live whilst studying at Boston College. 

The Opening of Boston College's De Montfort Campus

In 1995, Boston College opened the De Montfort Campus in Boston. Built in the 1950's and previously known as Kitwood Boys School, the De Montfort Campus provided a 'new face' to the old buildings to establish a modern and attractive centre that would encourage students to choose to study there. The campus was used by a range of subject areas, including Floristry, Art and Design, Media, A Levels, and Travel and Tourism.

2000

The Opening of the Boston Conference and Management Centre (BCMC)

Boston College entered the new millennium in style by opening the doors to the brand new Boston Conference and Management Centre (BCMC).

The Boston Conference and Management Centre had a number of multi-purpose rooms that could be configured in many different formats, with capacities ranging between 4 - 100 delegates. The centre was an ideal venue for a corporate event, whether it was a small business meeting, a trade event, or a large conference.

David Pomfrett becomes Principal

Following on from David Pursell, David Pomfrett took the leadership of Boston College as the Principal in 2001. Oddly, David Pomfrett also turned up in a plaster cast on his first day too!

The Opening of The Goodliffe Centre

In 2004, Boston College further expanded the Rochford Campus with the addition of The Goodliffe Centre.

The centre was previously dedicated to Equine Studies at the College. Whereas today, you will most likely walk past The Goodliffe Centre and be greeted by the College's lively parrots. This is because the centre is now home to the ever growing Animal Management Unit, which contains an impressive variety of small animals, birds and reptiles. The animals are looked after using professional industry standard equipment that takes care of all of their different and unique daily needs.

Sue Daley Becomes Principal

Sue Daley became Principal of Boston College in 2005, following on from David Pomfrett. It was well known at the College that Sue had a big passion for footwear, and staff at the time had a constant interest in what Sue's footwear would be each day.

2010

The Opening of Boston College's Spalding Campus

Boston College opened the Spalding Campus in 2011, marking a significant milestone in the College's expansion and development. This state-of-the-art facility was designed to accommodate top-of-the-range teaching in a relaxed and professional environment. The courses offered at the Spalding Campus range from GCSE English and Maths evening classes to Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy courses. 

The campus features a diverse array of state-of-the-art facilities, designed to cater to the academic, recreational, and social needs of students. The Student Room, is a space to chill out and catch up with friends during free time, using the comfy seating, TVs and vending machines. Style Academy Spalding is the College's student-run hair and beauty salon in Spalding, which offers a range of high quality, professional treatments without breaking the bank. Plus, The Red Lion Quarter hosts 12 offices located on the secure, self-contained business floor, all with flexible terms of tenancy. This part of Spalding Campus also offers purpose-built facilities that were designed for business and local community groups to hire for confidential meetings, conferences, interviews and training.

Amanda Mosek Becomes Principal

In 2011, Boston College welcomed Amanda Mosek as the new Principal.

During Amanda's time at Boston College, she led the College to achieving multiple 'Good' Ofsted gradings and saw quite a few building developments, including the Enterprise Centre, the Rochford Reception, the Library Suite, and the refurbishment of Peter Paine Performance Centre.

The Selling of the Boston College De Montfort Campus

During 2012, the College sold the De Montfort Campus in Boston to move to the brand new SIXTH building at the Rochford Campus in Boston. The De Montfort Campus was used by a variety of Boston College students, including A Levels, Travel and Tourism, Photography, and Media. Today, the De Montfort Campus looks completely different following its demolition to become a housing estate.

The Opening of Boston College: SIXTH

2012 was an exciting year for Boston College, starting with the opening of the brand new SIXTH building. Located at the Rochford Campus in Boston, the SIXTH is a purpose built centre for students studying A Levels. The building has been designed to promote modern teaching and learning methods. With a much more grown-up environment than school, Boston College: SIXTH aims to help teach students how to manage their own time and learning, to effectively prepare them for University or employment.

The Refurbishment and Renaming of BCUC

The Boston Conference and Management Centre (BCMC) was refurbished and renamed in 2012 to the Boston College University Centre (BCUC). The building was refocused to being the College's dedicated venue for the study of Higher Education courses. Today, Boston College offers 27 University Level courses across a variety of subject areas, which is a huge difference in comparison to when the addition of Higher Education was introduced at the College in 1989.

“As a family man and having never studies computing before, I was apprehensive about enrolling onto the Higher Education course, but I achieved a 2:1 in my degree and secured a new job!” 

The Opening of the Ingelow Building

Another milestone for Boston College in 2012 was the opening of the Ingelow Centre. The centre was designed to support students with learning difficulties and/or associated disabilities who have mobility and additional support needs. The Ingelow Centre's facilities included a shop, a flat, a cafe, a sensory room, and dedicated classrooms for students to learn life skills in a safe environment.

The Refurbishment of Peter Paine Performance Centre

The refurbishment of Boston College's Peter Paine Performance Centre in 2012 provided the centre with updated facilities, including three grass football pitches, badminton courts, table tennis, basketball courts, a gym, a sports field, two sports halls, an outdoor multi-use games area, a dance studio, an AstroTurf pitch, and changing rooms. Peter Paine Performance Centre can provide students with the opportunity to study Sport, Fitness and Wellbeing in a real working environment and progress studies from Level 1 to University Level without having to leave the College. The centre also serves the local community by providing its facilities to be available for commercial hire to members of the general public, as well as local sports teams.

The Rebranding of Style Academy

In 2013, Boston College's commercial and training salons for the College's Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy students rebranded from 'Salon Ecole' to 'Style Academy'. Based at both Boston College's Rochford Campus in Boston and Spalding Campus, the salons offer high quality,  professional treatments. All treatments are carried out by Level 2 and Level 3 Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy students under the supervision of industry professionals. The modern, industry standard salons are open to the public to receive a range of competitively priced hair and beauty treatments, including manicures, pedicures, waxing, massages, haircuts, hair colourings, and hair treatments.

The Refurbishment to the Rochford Reception

In 2013, the Rochford building at Boston College's Rochford Campus in Boston received a complete refurbishment and development to modernise the entire building. Prior to 2013, the current Library and Reception was a grass area and path for students.

As part of the development to the Reception in the Rochford building, Boston College introduced an Enterprise Zone. This space was set up for the development of enterprise and to build an entrepreneurial culture amongst students. It was a space where students and employers could come together so that students could learn about the world of work and develop skills to make them more employable.

The Refurbishment of the Sam Newsom Centre

In the summer of 2016, Boston College began the refurbishment of the Sam Newsom Centre. The building has for many years and continues to provide a dedicated learning facility for Boston College's Music and Performing Arts students.

The refurbishment included rewiring of electrics; installation of a new fire alarm system; creation of a large, new recording studio and separate mixing suite; installation of new specialist flooring and state-of the-art electronic pull-out tiered seating for 100 people in the existing auditorium; the construction of a dedicated reception area and new offices; alterations and re-positioning of teaching spaces and practice rooms.

Shawn Thomas, Estates Manager at Boston College spoke about the benefits the work has had for the College’s students, he said, “The refurbishment has greatly improved the students’ learning experience, it’s provided an excellent environment with industry standard equipment for them to train and practice their future careers.”

Jo Maher Becomes Principal

In September 2017, Jo Maher joined Boston College as the new Principal and Chief Executive. 

Jo joined the College at an exciting time, with A Level pass rates at 100% for the second year running, GCSE Maths and English pass rates well above the national average, an Ofsted rating of 'Good', recently being named the Top Performing College in Greater Lincolnshire, and the latest National Student Survey satisfaction rating at 100% - the best FE College in the country at the time.

Academic Partnership with University of Derby

In 2018, Boston College established an academic partnership with University of Derby. Alongside additional Pearson HNCs and HNDs, this partnership enabled the College to be able to offer a wide range of HNCs, HNDs, Foundation Degrees, full BA/BSc (Hons) Degrees, Top-ups in BA/BSc (Hons), and PGCEs. This meant that Boston College can provide the opportunity to study from Level 4 (HNC) to Level 7 (PGCE) without needing to move away to university.

Lincolnshire Institute of Technology (LIoT) Success

In 2019, Boston College, in conjunction with regional education providers, were successful in the bid for the Lincolnshire Institute of Technology (LIT). Led by University of Lincoln, the Lincolnshire Institute of Technology is a landmark institution creating a step to change in the skills provision and productivity of Greater Lincolnshire, involving over £41 million of investment. With dedicated facilities in Boston, Grantham, Grimsby, Holbeach, Lincoln, Scunthorpe and Riseholme there is an integrated network of centres located at the heart of agri-tech, food manufacturing, engineering , energy and digital sectors it will serve.
