About The Butterwick Pinchbeck's Endowed CofE Primary School

The Butterwick Pinchbeck's Endowed CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in Boston, Lincolnshire, currently educating 264 pupils against a capacity of 315, meaning it has room to grow. Its intake reflects a notably higher-than-average level of disadvantage: a quarter of pupils (25%) are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23% and the local Lincolnshire average, which tends to sit lower. Despite this, the school is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 38 applications for 28 places, with all 28 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.36. That suggests a school that is well-regarded enough to be oversubscribed but not so fiercely competitive that local children miss out. The school is mixed-gender and takes children from age 5 to 11, with no nursery provision on site.
