This motto also forms the title of the official school song, written by Dr G.E.

The song is still sung at official school occasions such as Prizegiving, Charter Day and Beastmart.

In the 1960s when under Holland County Council Education Committee, it was a voluntary controlled school with around 620 boys.

On 1 January 2013, Boston Grammar School became a converter academy, under the leadership of the then headteacher, Paul Marsh.

Each is associated with a different colour which is reflected in different coloured ties, and boys are assigned to a house when they join the school on an arbitrary basis in order to create different groups for school activities, including Sports Day.

The Beast Mart declaration takes place one day in December each year.

The Council Chief Executive (in place of the historical Town Clerk) reads the declaration of the Beast Mart and the Mayor requests that the headmaster give the school a half-day holiday.

The Parry Gold Medal is awarded to the student who achieved the best A-level results.
