Boston Grammar School - Staff

The aim of this page is to profile the staff of Boston Grammar School, past and present. If you have information about any of the staff of the type recorded here, then please send it to the email address at the bottom of this page.

The details on these pages include some items which could be considered offensive if taken out of context. Nicknames shown are those which were in common use and are provided in order to help the identification of the people concerned. Remember that these names were devised by 11-18 year old boys, and may in some cases be less than flattering. Anecdotes quoted on these pages reflect the views and memories of their respective authors; their presence here does not indicate endorsement of the views expressed by the Web master, by the Old Bostonian Association, or by Boston Grammar School. If you are offended by anything written about you or your family members, please email the address at the bottom of this pages, and appropriate amendments will be made.
