Schools in Boston

Once one of England's foremost medieval ports, Boston occupies the south Lincolnshire fenland on the River Witham, a borough of around 65,000 residents flanked by open farmland stretching to the Wash. Its silhouette is unmistakable. St Botolph's Church, whose fourteenth-century tower earned the nickname the Stump after it was left without the planned spire, defines the town's skyline across the flat fen plain and has drawn pilgrims and visitors to its landmark gallery for centuries. Boston's Guildhall holds the cells where a group of Separatist dissenters were detained in 1607 during their attempts to leave England, a historical chapter the market town acknowledges in its civic museums.

Wyberton, the residential parish directly south of the centre, is among the most sought-after postcodes for school catchments in the Boston area, while West End, Old Leake, and Sibsey extend family life into the surrounding fen parishes. Train services on the Poacher Line connect the town to Nottingham and Lincoln.
