"Good but not perfect"

We had a generally positive experience at Northampton Academy when our son was a student. The Ofsted rating and exam results are impressive but we felt that the school could have been more responsive to parents' concerns at times. Overall, it's a good school but not perfect

We are thoroughly enjoying our experience at Northampton Academy. The UCAS information and independent learning resources have been particularly useful for our daughter. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic and the school's ethos is lovely
