Thank you to all those who attended this year's Sixth Form Open Evening, it was a successful evening and we were pleased to welcome a record number of Year 11 students and their families, both from Northampton Academy and other schools in the area.

Launched this September, Nucleus VI is a unique programme for Year 12 students with aspirations to study medicine after Sixth Form.
