History
Conway School
The school was established in 1851 by Martha and Mary Gee as Boston Middle Girls School at George Street, Boston and was "intended for female children whose parents are in the rank next above the actual poor". It subsequently moved to its current site at Tunnard Street, at a rebuilding cost of £800.Head teacher controversy and problems with new ownership
Former owner and head teacher Simon McElwain was jailed for two years, in October 2007, after admitting the possession of child pornography images. He stepped down from his position in November 2004. Under McElwain the school had 140 pupils and employed 19 staff.In April 2005 McElwain sold the school to David and Caroline Wilson. The new head teacher at this point was Philomena Rynne.
The pupil roll dropped after the transfer of ownership, and the school closed on 3 January 2007.
