Our primary school is positioned in the eastern suburbs of Boston. Only 2 miles from the town centre, we offer an excellent primary education to children from the Skirbeck, Toot Lane and Eastwood Road areas. As a popular and oversubscribed school, the school has seen a number of minor and major building programmes, the most recent of which was from 2012 to 2014, when the Department for Education allocated £1.73 million to extend the school from a planned admissions number of 40 children in each year group to 60.
