Northampton Academy Enrichment

Enrichment is a very important part of the Northampton Academy experience, ensuring students have the opportunity to develop new skills, talents and character outside their formal learning environment. We offer a wealth of clubs including music, drama, sports, gaming and reading. The calendar changes termly so please see the latest one below.

At Northampton Academy we promise leadership opportunities for every student, many of which come from the wide range clubs on offer. 

Regular attendance to clubs and activities is necessary for student development both academically as well as emotionally and socially.  Please ensure that if your child has chosen to attend a club that they attend regularly. If they are unable to attend for a week, they should notify the staff member in charge so they will be aware of their absence. Timetable available to view and download below.

Nucleus STEM Lecture Programme 

Working with our university partners, we have put together a series of lectures to run throughout the year, offering the opportunity for students to engage with experts from a range of institutions to discuss various aspects of STEM subjects.  These lectures are open to all students at Northampton Academy and students from other schools (subject to booking).

All the lectures below will take place between 3.30pm and 4.30pm.  Refreshments will be provided for all students attending and will allow some of our older year group to get a taste of what university lectures are like.

Character Enrichment Clubs and Challenges

I'm delighted to share with you our latest Character Enrichment Clubs timetable.

There will be no need to book places in advance, so your child can now attend any club freely. This is with the exception of the Year 9 Food and Nutrition club, which is full, and pupils on the register will be contacted by Mrs Ribbins.

Please note the new meeting point for all sports clubs is now outside, meaning there is no longer a limit on places. We do, however, maintain a limit of 15 for any clubs held in classrooms, which will be closely monitored.

Miss L Begum

From Year 9 students are eligible to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which is a highly esteemed and rigorous programme designed to challenge their physical fitness, leadership, teamwork skills, personal development and their community involvement.
