Boston College, Lincolnshire
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. 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. Sites The college is currently spread over five sites: * Rochford Campus – engineering workshops, beauty therapy, swimming facilities and halls of residence ...

Childcare
Child care, otherwise known as day care, is the care and supervision of a child or multiple children at a time, whose ages range from two weeks of age to 18 years. Although most parents spend a significant amount of time caring for their child(ren), child care typically refers to the care provided by caregivers that are not the child's parents. Child care is a broad topic that covers a wide spectrum of professionals, institutions, contexts, activities, and social and cultural conventions. Early child care is an equally important and often overlooked component of child development, child's developments. Care can be provided to children by a variety of individuals and groups. Care facilitated by similar-aged children covers a variety of developmental and psychological effects in both caregivers and charge. This is due to their mental development being in a particular case of not being able to progress as it should be at their age. This care giving role may also be taken on by the c ...

Grammar School
A grammar school is one of several different types of school in the history of education in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries, originally a school teaching Latin, but more recently an academically oriented secondary school, differentiated in recent years from less academic secondary modern schools. The main difference is that a grammar school may select pupils based on academic achievement whereas a secondary modern may not. The original purpose of medieval grammar schools was the teaching of Latin. Over time the curriculum was broadened, first to include Ancient Greek, and later English and other European languages, natural sciences, mathematics, history, geography, art and other subjects. In the late Victorian era grammar schools were reorganised to provide secondary education throughout England and Wales; Scotland had developed a different system. Grammar schools of these types were also established in British territories overseas, where they have evolv ...

Kitwood Boys School
Kitwood Boys School was a secondary modern school for boys in Boston, Lincolnshire, England, which began life in the early 1950s as part of the new Attlee Labour government's education programme (as did the nearby Kitwood Girls School). Initially the school provided an education to those not attaining higher Grammar School standards. Despite a brief period in the late 1970s and early 1980s which gave the school a bad name, the school was merged with the girls' school in September 1992 and lost many of its staff. The merged school is called Haven High and located on the site of the old girls' school. The boys' school became the De Montfort campus of Boston College. The school took several annual trips, including camping to Leam Farm in Derbyshire, Brienz in Switzerland, and the Jorvik Viking Centre in York York is a cathedral city with Roman origins, sited at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England.
