"Our son loved his time at SCHA"

We were really happy with the education our son received at Sir Christopher Hatton Academy. The sixth form program was particularly well-structured and helped him prepare for university. The teachers were all very supportive and encouraged him to push himself. We're so grateful for the opportunities he had during his time at the academy.

"Mixed feelings about our first year"

We're still getting used to the new homework system and the Edulink One platform. Sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming, but the teachers are always available to help. We've noticed an improvement in our daughter's literacy skills, which is great. However, we'd like to see more opportunities for students to get involved in extracurricular activities.

"Fantastic school - exceeded expectations"

We moved to Wellingborough and were a bit nervous about which school to choose. However, Sir Christopher Hatton Academy has been a fantastic choice for our daughter. The staff are caring and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. We've been impressed with the emphasis on literacy and the opportunities available for students to shine.
