A warm welcome to Boston Pioneers Academy, Lincolnshire’s first Free School.
Our aim at Pioneers is to encourage and enable all children towards the realisation of their own unique talents.

Aside from home, school is the single most important place in the lives of most children. Their experience of school will play a vital role in their lives and be a key determiner in their future. As such, we understand how important it is to decide on the right school for your child.
