Join our Trust

Who are we?

Our Trust was established in 2013 to launch its first school, Wootton Park School, which opened in September 2016 and was graded ‘Outstanding’ in all inspection categories by Ofsted in July 2019 and again in March 2025.

Having successfully opened Wootton Park School, the Trust applied to open a secondary school in the Dallington area and a primary school in Overstone. Our new schools will follow the highly successful model established by the all-through Wootton Park School and will help meet the significant and growing need for high-quality places in Northampton.

This is an exciting time to join our Trust and a real opportunity for partner schools to work together to share resources, staff, training and curriculum expertise as we grow.

Be a part of the journey!
