Academy Eye

A small group of children and young adults from New Zealand visited Northampton Academy in the Autumn term. This was a big visit for both the visitors and the Academy as it shows that we are slowly becoming internationally renowned. The children came as part of a sports group to look at our sports facilities; they also visited the Northampton Saints grounds to witness the team training.  After speaking to two students from the group I found that they thought that Northampton academy was “Way better than Auckland” and that they would much rather come to school here than in their own town.  The group spent a further five days in England and were then off to explore Europe.  Thanks to Caleb Lee and Jay Khosla for spending the time to speak to me about their trip.
