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)
“The fellow parent you are scared to call is as appalled by the clique’s plans as you are. . . . The other parent is as happy to hear from you as you would be to hear from him.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
