About this school
West Fen Primary School is a primary academy in Boston. It teaches children aged 4 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected West Fen Primary School under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
West Fen Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was New York Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: New York Primary School (closed August 2026)

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
