About Boston West Academy

Boston West Academy’s Key Stage 2 results stand well above the Lincolnshire local authority average, making it a strong performer among primary schools in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 57%, Boston West achieves 69% — a clear 12-point advantage. This places the school 3rd out of 15 primaries in the Boston district, putting it in the top 20% locally. Nationally, it ranks in the top third of all primary schools, which is a solid showing for a state-funded mixed school of 415 pupils. The school is also oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 97 applications for 51 places, with all 51 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.9. That level of demand suggests local families recognise the school’s consistent academic performance.
