In support of the new housing developments in the Upton Park and Moulton area of Northampton, the Trust are considering submitting an application to the Department for Education to propose opening a new primary academy in Upton Park and a new primary academy in Moulton, both in Northampton, as part of the Free School application process. We are proposing that each would be a 420 place primary academy with a 60 place nursery to open in September 2022. The Trust has support from Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) to open these new academies to meet the future need for school places in the area. If the proposals get approved, we will work with NCC to identify suitable sites for the new academies.

The school continues to be GOOD.

Our Year 6 children had an amazing time on their residential trip to Condover Hall

Some of our children and staff tried archery this week and really enjoyed themselves.

On Thursday 15th of March 20 children from Years 2 and 3 enjoyed a day full of dance and fun at Kingswood Secondary School. Secondary students introduced our children to the topic of a circus and used pictures to illustrate what people may be going in a circus. They then taught groups of 5 children a dance routine which was practiced several times to perfect. Finally, their dance was combined to those of 3 other primary schools who also attended the event and the 4 merged together amazingly to form a fantastic performance. After lunchtime, children got into groups again but this time they created their own short dance with the help of a secondary student. Their dances included lifts like those you may find in a circus. We all returned back to school with big smiles on our faces and fabulous memories made.

We would really love as many of you as possible to come along every Wednesday at 8.30am to read with your child.
