The Link Block is a two-storey suite that was built in the late 1980s, and formed a major addition to the school. When completed, it bisected the original school quadrangle, creating two smaller areas: an east quad and a west quad. Following the line of Boston's ancient Bar Ditch, it was designed by Keith Stevens, an alumnus who attended BGS from 1952-58.
The ground floor includes:
- The main entrance to the school.
- A glass-walled room adjacent to the entrance, known as the 'Goldfish Bowl'.
- A reception area.
- An administrative suite, including the Headmaster's Office.
- A large classroom (Room T), which is mainly used for teaching Religious Studies.
The first floor contains five classrooms, four of which are used for teaching modern foreign languages. The fifth was originally dedicated to Latin, but was converted into an ICT suite in the late 1990s when the teaching of Latin was phased out.
The floors are connected by two staircases situated at opposite ends of the block.
