We are so proud of our Year 12 Library Leaders, Senia and Badriyah. They have been participating in the Library Leader Award Programme, supported by the School Library Association, since Year 8 and are our highest achieving leaders to date, currently at Gold Award. The training programme provides library leaders with a wealth of transferable skills and opportunities to show ambition in promoting reading, literacy and the library. Senia and Badriyah delivered their library projects as part of working towards their Platinum Award, the highest level of achievement, which is an accolade worth celebrating.

Our Key Stage 3 Art students have been celebrating a fantastic year of creativity by showcasing a selection of the inspiring projects they have completed throughout the academic year.

Our Year 10 STEM students recently visited Standens Barn Primary School, where they planned and delivered an engaging lesson for 30 Year 6 pupils.

Congratulations to Cameron W (10S), who represented Northampton Academy in the Develop Articulation Public Speaking Competition, a national event run by The National Gallery and Leeds University.

This term, students from Year 7 and Year 10 took part in our exciting Carnegie Medal Shadowing programme.

The Carnegie Medal is one of the UK's most prestigious children's book awards, celebrating outstanding writing for young people. As part of the shadowing scheme, our students read a selection of the shortlisted titles and met each Wednesday during DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time to discuss their thoughts and share their opinions.
