Spratton Hall is an exceptional co-educational, day school. Nestled in over 50 acres of rolling Northamptonshire countryside, its first rate facilities are combined with an inspirational, dynamic, yet caring and supportive environment where a high quality all round education is coupled with a forward looking and exciting approach to learning.
Pupils and staff are supported at every stage of their development. Academic achievement is highly valued and many pupils go on to receive scholarships to some of the best schools in the country, but alongside this the Spratton Hall teacher’s approach is to always ask "How can we give our pupils more?".
Spratton Hall has a challenging and creative curriculum that is more than just the core academic subjects. IT, languages, sport, drama, music, dance are firm fixtures in the calendar for all ages, while older children can try sewing, construction, gaming, photography and robotics to name but a few of the afterschool clubs. This rich range of subjects helps Spratton pupils uncover their real strengths and find their true voice from an early age.
Acres of top class sporting facilities results in children that are fit, healthy and competitive. Both girls and boys enjoy a combination of PE, hockey, tennis, football, cricket, rugby, netball, cross-country and athletics. Having multiple teams for each year, means that all pupils get the opportunity to proudly represent their school in their favourite sport. Spratton Hall staff enjoy being involved in sport and extracurricular activities and the challenge and reward this brings.
The School also recognises that children need support outside of the classroom. Spratton’s Head of Pastoral Care works closely with teachers, pupils and parents to immediately address any issues they have. This supportive, nurturing and open environment creates a positive working and learning environment.
