The governance of the school is strong. Relationships between governors and senior leaders are highly positive and constructive, based on a mutual understanding of support and challenge. Together they uncompromisingly strive for excellence and have a strong vision for the future success of the school.” Ofsted July 2019

Northampton Free School Trust is seeking additional governance leaders in order to build upon our committed and passionate team of governors and members. In particular, we are keen to hear from prospective governors with legal expertise.

The Local Authority has identified that additional primary and secondary capacity is required to meet both current and forecast demand in the town.

The Trust is delighted to receive support from the Local Authority to submit our bids to the Department for Education.

As well as helping the Local Authority fulfil its statutory obligation of providing sufficiency of school places in Northamptonshire, the proposed new free schools would help provide increased choice and diversity of school places for parents of pupils being educated both now and in future years.

Thank you to Northamptonshire County Council for their support.

Our vision is to create outstanding schools in Northampton, delivering strong academic achievement, developing strong values and promoting citizenship, community and service.

We employ tried and tested teaching methods and the holistic development of each of our learners allows them to gain the confidence and skills to positively contribute to local communities and to participate in a global society. Our curriculum promotes social mobility and enhance the life chances of all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged.

Our learners bring pride and joy to Northampton through their good character, active participation and service and academic achievement.

Wootton Park School rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted

We are delighted that our school received the top grade in all five inspection categories of its first Ofsted report: overall effectiveness, leadership and management, behaviour and safety of pupils, quality of teaching, achievement of pupils and early years provision.

Ofsted praised the school for its outstanding leadership: “The principal, together with senior leaders and governors, leads with unapologetic ambition and an unwavering determination to secure the highest possible standards of education and well-being for pupils and staff”.

Inspectors also noted that “The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is of a consistently high quality” and that “Achievement is outstanding in the early years and at key stages 1 and 3″.

The Trust behind Wootton Park School is proposing to open another two high-quality schools for Northampton.

In order for our proposals to be successful, we need to demonstrate to the Department for Education that the schools are well supported and that we have engaged with parents and the wider community about our plans.
