Following our inspection in November 2019, the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) have made some amendments to the wording of their original report. I am delighted to say that the updated report, published today, further highlights all that is special about Northampton High School. This report reiterates our compliance with the Independent School Standards Regulations and clearly states that we have achieved the highest grade – ‘Excellent’ – in both categories of the Educational Quality Inspection: the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements and the quality of pupils’ personal development. “The quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent.” “The quality of pupils’ personal development is excellent.” More information can be found here.

Everybody at Northampton High School would like to give a huge congratulations to Georgie FW for her fantastic performance at the British Open Indoor Athletics Championships last weekend.
