2018 saw Huxlow beat the national figures for the number of students gaining a grade 4 or above in English and Maths and exceed the national average for achieving a grade 5 in English and Maths. We had the highest number of grade 9s achieved by any school in the area and students at Huxlow made more progress than all other local schools. This has strengthened our position on our journey to becoming an outstanding school.
We have a long tradition of success with our Sixth Form Consortium; working together with The Ferrers and Rushden Academy in offering a unique post-16 learning community and the broadest post-16 curriculum in Northamptonshire. 2018 saw record numbers going to University and the largest ever Sixth Form enrolment.
Drama is a popular subject at KS3 and KS4 and benefited from a brand new, state of the art Drama and Dance facility in September 2019. Our students enjoy Drama and are keen to participate. 2018 saw our best ever drama results with a 100% B-Tech pass rate and 72% of our students achieved a level 2.

About Huxlow Academy
Education is invaluable, and our children have one chance to experience it. It is therefore a tremendous responsibility and privilege for me to lead Huxlow Academy, where our goal is to ensure every child has the highest quality academic experience and create memories which last a lifetime.
Ambition
At Huxlow Academy we champion the successes of our students and provide them with opportunities to be aspirational members of our community. It is critical that the education we provide supports both academic success and equips students for the ever-changing world beyond school. Our mission at Huxlow is for each and every student to ‘thrive through excellence’, with every door open to them as they continue their journeys towards adulthood.
Respect
Commitment to the highest standards of Teaching and Learning, as well as quality pastoral care, ensures that Huxlow students build nurturing relationships with staff and their peers. Students feel a sense of belonging and pride in being part of daily life at Huxlow. We have high expectations of staff and students, who demonstrate this through ‘The Huxlow Way’, behaviours which encapsulate our Academy values.
Pride
We are a school with a lot to be proud of. Instilling pride in our students is important to me, and each day I am taken aback by how proud students are of Huxlow, of their peers and of themselves, as they experience success in all shapes and forms. Huxlow is an incredible school, where we pride ourselves on strong relationships with students, and where we aim to strive for excellence each day
I am incredibly proud of the journey Huxlow has been on in recent years, and urge prospective students, parents and teachers to visit the Academy and see ‘The Huxlow Way’ in action.
