About Boston Spa Academy

The school, which opened in 1973, has around 1,370 students of which 195 attend the growing sixth form. In September 2018, Boston Spa Academy officially joined the highly successful and nationally renowned GORSE Academies Trust (TGAT), however, we had already been working in close partnership with colleagues from the Trust for the 18 months prior to becoming part of the Trust.

Boston Spa Academy is now amongst the highest performing schools in Leeds, the Yorkshire and Humber region and the country.
