Welcome to Northampton High School

Made for Girls since 1878

For almost 150 years, Northampton High School has been the heartbeat of girls’ education in the county, combining a rich heritage with a forward-thinking approach. We are proud of our history – notably the opening of our current site by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This legacy of success is confirmed by our ‘Excellent’ ISI inspection ratings, proving that our values of kindness, positivity, and courage are visible in every classroom, every day.

We offer an inspiring education for girls from Nursery to Sixth Form, designed to bring out the very best in every individual. Within our happy and structured community, we encourage students to develop their intellectual and personal talents to the fullest, ensuring they leave us not just with exceptional results, but as strong, open-minded, and confident young women ready to shape the future.
