History and Situation

Maypole House School was founded in 1884 in Horncastle and Conway Preparatory School in Boston, Lincolnshire in 1907. Over the years, Maypole House and Conway School have grown and become established and academically successful schools.  

The schools occupied two premises - Well Vale Hall, a large 300 year-old Georgian manor situated on 150 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, playing fields and tennis courts and Conway School in a classic Victorian school building conveniently situated in the centre of Boston.  

More recently, the two schools have now been merged to form Excell International School operating from a single site - the Boston premises of Conway Preparatory School, where we have full use of Boston Central Park and where there is a cenotaph commemorating 100 uninterrupted years of Conway School!  

Excell International School continues to provide a safe, ambient and tranquil environment for the educational, mental, moral and physical development of all our children.  

Excell International School is inspected by OFSTED, registered by the Department for Children, Skills and Families (DCSF) as a Christian, independent Co-educational, boarding school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18 years with registration number 925/6024.
