Values and vision
At Northampton High School, we believe in a complete education that’s made for girls and young women. Everything about our school is carefully considered from our purpose-built site to our inspirational teachers and our first-class pastoral care.
Our school is bursting with spirited students who we encourage to learn without limits.
We’re not here to pigeonhole or conform to stereotypes. Instead, we encourage our girls to be curious and independent, resilient and brave; to lead and be individuals whilst recognising the value of collaboration and teamwork.
In doing so, we turn “can we?” into “we can!”, unleashing the potential in a generation of girls and young women who can go on and define a future on their own terms.
