Boston Spa is a school for boys and girls aged 11-19 years old in Leeds. It is larger than other secondary schools with 1,880 students on roll, including 350 in the sixth form. The school is a specialist Sports College.

The school is located in a largely rural and semi rural area, approximately 4 miles from Wetherby. The school community is predominantly white British. The largest minority ethnic group is Indian and Pakistani. The students come from a wide range of social backgrounds. Approximately 11% of students are entitled to free school meals, which is below average.

Students entering the school have achieved results at primary school which are above the national average. Just under 9% of students have been identified as having specific learning difficulties and/or disabilities, which is well below average. Very few students join or leave school at times other than in Year 7 or at the end of Year 11

The school was awarded specialist sports college status in 2000 and successfully achieved re-designation of this status in 2004. Currently, it is also the base for the Leeds United Ladies football club.^{[citation needed]}
