Senior School

For girls aged 11-16

Welcome to our Senior School

Joining the Senior School is the beginning of your daughter’s journey into adulthood and independence.

Our specialist staff will nurture your daughter’s academic abilities while encouraging her to develop wider knowledge and understanding of the curriculum we offer at Northampton High School and beyond.

Your daughter will have numerous opportunities to develop talents in music, sport, drama, public speaking and more. She can choose the options that best suit her among supportive and like-minded senior school students who are equally keen to take ownership of their learning.

Our highly skilled team of educators will help your daughter foster the skills that offer the keys to success and fulfilment in life. There will be abundant opportunities to build inner confidence, demonstrate commitment, articulate opinions, and make an impression.

Above all, it’s her chance to truly shine…

‘The only all-girls, all-through school in the county, where the junior school gives girls a cracking start in their development towards becoming the leaders of tomorrow. Full of joy and energy, and masses of opportunity for girls to discover their passions and abilities’. The Good Schools Guide, 2023
