Our Academies

Lincolnshire’s first Free School has secured its reputation in the centre of Boston for striving for the highest standards for all learners in academic progress, attitude and behavior. In 2021/22 the academy continued to focus on its ‘REACH’ values after the disruption of the Covid pandemic and worked hard to catch up on the previous loss of learning. Boston Pioneers continues to successfully prioritise pastoral care and safeguarding, while igniting every child with a lifelong love of learning.

Situated in the heart of the Boston community, which it is so proud to serve. This is a large two form entry primary academy with a great building and outdoor learning spaces, available to all learners. In 2021/22 the academy invested in a significant refresh to its Nursery and Reception areas, which are a delight to see. Carlton Road Academy also welcomed experienced Headteacher Clare Coyle in January 2022. She is leading the academy onto the next stage of its improvement journey with a committed and enthusiastic staff team.

Our smallest academy lives its ‘Small School, Big Heart, Great Start’ motto every day, and prides itself on its family feel and personalised learning opportunities. 2021/22 saw the academy have a fantastic brand-new hall built. Both children and staff have loved this new addition, which they use to come together and enhance learning opportunities. This year the academy has grown in number and continues to achieve good outcomes for all learners.

A happy and successful village primary academy which knows and serves its families and community extremely well. Staff work closely together and form an impressive team. In 2021/22 the academy continued its focus to enable all children to learn life skills, to be good citizens, to confidently voice opinions, look after the environment, and respect others. Outcomes at the end of Year 6 following SATs were high, and well above national averages.

This continues to be a popular and oversubscribed Boston secondary academy, serving nearly 1,400 learners across two sites. Throughout 2021/22 it continued to maintain its outcome standards, reflective of the high expectations and ambition the academy holds for all learners. This year the academy continued to build on its impressive focus and offer for Personal Development, including extensive extracurricular activities and the establishment of a 3G sports pitch on its grounds.

Park Academy built on its Good Ofsted rating in 2020 with even more improvements and leaning opportunities in 2021/22. Park saw a significant growth in numbers this academic year as more families from across the Boston area recognised how all staff value learning and all learners there - and importantly how they celebrate difference and respect everyone’s cultures and traditions. A great new Early Years outdoor area was built in 2021 and the academy appointed Kris Radford as Headteacher at the end of the academic year.
