Support for Pitsford Families

The news of Pitsford School’s closure is deeply unsettling. In moments of sudden educational change, we know that your primary focus is securing your daughter’s peace of mind, friendships and academic momentum.

At Northampton High School, we are ready to help. Backed by the enduring strength of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST), we offer your daughter an immediate, stable and nurturing through-school journey from ages 2 to 18.

Our priority is not a rigid admissions process; it is to support your family in finding the right solution.

The Pitsford Pathway

To remove the stress of changing schools at short notice, we have streamlined our onboarding process specifically to give Pitsford families an immediate, friction-free transition:

  • We have immediate places available across our school. To protect your daughter’s well-being, we can bypass traditional entrance testing by utilising her existing school data and baseline scores for immediate placement.
  • We offer a fast-track admissions turnaround and tailored financial and logistical transition packages designed to ease the pressure on arriving families. Every joining pupil will also be paired with a dedicated Northampton High Buddy to ensure they feel at home from day one.

Join us for a Personal Tour

Contact us to arrange a tour at your earliest convenience. We are offering a quiet, confidential conversation with the Head and Senior staff and an informal look around.

Why GDST? The Security of a National Network

While local independent options vary, Northampton High School offers a unique advantage: the absolute financial resilience and scale of the Girls’ Day School Trust (GDST). In a changing independent landscape, our national network guarantees that your daughter’s education is anchored by an established, ironclad foundation, paired with competitive fees and world-class facilities.
