Northampton Academy

This school has some strange management styles, the Principal has no grasp of running a school, let me tell you Mrs Hill that you can't run a school as a bully, treat your staff with respect. Your Vice Principal Mrs Rowe is totally clueless and listens to no one and as for the Business Manager he has less about him than all of the senior management put together. Never send your children here, they worry too much about stupid stuff and not enough on teaching and learning which is what they should focus on. Terrible school.....

My niece has just left this school and we have been very impressed. She has just been accepted into a really good university and says it is because of the teachers there. They made her believe she could do it and helped her. I don't understand the comments about the headteacher. She is quite strict with them but is also very good making sure they work hard and no excuses. All of my nieces friends are going to university too and say the teachers helped them massively and the headteacher has made a big difference.

Thank you to all the teachers at the school.

Had to visit the school site the other morning to drop something off for my son and now the school has turned in to a prison, only thing it requires now is a slight name change to HMP Northampton Academy.

Had to buzz and wait 5 minutes to get on to the site and then buzz to get in the door to reception, then on exit had to buzz several times and wait 10 minutes to leave site. Good job it was sunny because if it was raining i would have sent the dry cleaning bill to the school and see if the warden would pay it.

My niece wanted to go to Northampton academy as it was the closest school as she would have to walk, but because she lived 0.2 miles out of the catchment area she has been refused entry. She was however accepted to a school nearly 2 miles further away.

Worst school in the town.They dont care if you get bullied but they will still say you we are here to help if you reported they dont even listen.They will say "this is how your runing your house-Mr Hake or Mrs Griffins and Mrs Ribbons by"The teachers dont care anything just your uniform and your attendance. NO support at all if you struggling.Like a prison.Ofsted really need to check on them really close.

I’m really happy with the way northampton academy has supported my son through a difficult period of anxiety. The return to school after lock down and pressure from exams caused so much anxiety, it presented in making him physically Ill and he missed school.
I felt that the staff I spoke to about this were genuinely concerned, both he and I were listened to and he was helped to deal with his issues in a positive way.

this school is horrible, most of the students are badly behaved idk how it's apparently one of the best schools in Northampton, half of the time it's just jokes and the substitute teacher miss duke gives you moves and removes for no reason. also you get a detention for not tucking ur shirt in when it's not even that deep? and I don't get why we can't wear trainers instead when loads of other schools that allow them. the teachers are rude and they don't actually care about ur education but they do care about the uniform which doesn't even make sense. and then the learning managers don't do anything when u tell them ur in beef w someone and that it's getting worse. they give u way too much homework and ie for only 5 moves which is quite easy to get as most teachers are quite unfair when giving them.

This school is realy good if you want your children to learn but most of the teachers are really strict and only care about 'Representing the school well' But it is still a good school so i would give it 3.5 stars but i cant so im giving it 3 stars.
