Federation Plans
Following a falling rolls argument in 2006 by the Local Education Authority, figures that have since been cast into doubt, plans were put into place to amalgamate Boston Grammar School with its sister establishment Boston High School for Girls as a coeducational school under a single roof with effect from September 2009. Detailed plans were proposed by the executive head and approved by the Local Authority. In preparation for the hard federation in 2007 the two schools were to be jointly headed by a single executive head teacher.
Following the redundancy and retirement of the former headmaster, John Neal, at the end of the 2007 school year, the school was placed under the executive headship of Helen McEvoy, who was also head of Boston High School. With the executive head's resignation in April 2010, the Federation continues with two largely separately staffed schools under one governing body and under two school 'acting Heads' and for the time being.'

Famous quotes containing the words federation and/or plans:
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
