Students and staff at Northampton Academy are celebrating after two of our Sixth Formers, Aarya Litt and Liv Shaw, took home National Awards at this year’s Best in Everyone Awards ceremony. The special, in-person ceremony was held at Boughton House in Kettering, Northamptonshire on Friday 19^th June.

On Thursday 18^th June a group of year 8 students travelled to Nuneaton where they took part in a United Learning Sports Event. Each of our students were fully engaged in both rugby and cricket activities, which gradually increased in both skill level and challenge. They had a fantastic time throughout the event and were delighted to make new friends from different schools.

After being crowned the East Midlands regional champions, our U13 NFL Flag Football team represented our region at the GB National Championships in Manchester on Wednesday, 17th June.

Our Year 8 Library Leader, Rozaan took part in an amazing opportunity for the Young Writers to review one of the 10 proof copies of Dead Straight Line, the latest Young Adult novel from author Malcolm Duffy, published by Zephyr Books at Bloomsbury.

This week, students and staff at Northampton Academy joined together to take part in a special fundraising challenge in aid of Sarcoma UK, inspired by one of the academy’s very own Year 9 students, Ella Benjamin.
