About Staniland Academy

Staniland Academy, a state primary in Boston, Lincolnshire, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, though the inspection was a graded one that did not assign an overall effectiveness label. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which stands at 67%. That figure places Staniland 5th out of 15 primary schools in the Boston local authority area, putting it in the top third locally. It also sits comfortably above the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57% for the same measure, a gap of ten percentage points. Nationally, the school ranks in the 38th percentile among all primaries, and within the East Midlands it sits in the 34th percentile. The school’s early years provision was judged Outstanding by Ofsted, and its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management were all rated Good.
