Achieving
Extraordinary
Things
NPAT is a group of schools working in collaboration as one entity to improve and maintain high educational standards across the group. Our passion for excellent educational provision, along with a belief that children must remain at the heart of every decision made by our leaders at all levels, led us to develop a trust where we encourage our children, staff and communities to ‘Achieve Extraordinary Things’. We are excited to now be widening our reach. We have schools in Northampton, Wellingborough and Milton Keynes in our family and are keen to further extend our offer. If you are interested joining we would love to hear from you.

Headteacher at Blackthorn Primary
School and Rectory Farm
“The support we receive from the central team in terms of finance, education, governance is outstanding and allows me to focus on ensuring the best educational outcomes for the children in my school.”
Working Together
We know that there is greater potential for realising our vision through working together as a family of schools providing support, collaboration and challenge. We are ‘one school with many doors.’ Our collective strength is epitomised through a shared focus on ensuring great teaching and curriculum, focussing on the most efficient use of resources in order to provide maximum value for money. Although our schools retain their own individual, unique character our strength is built on synergy – the belief that we achieve more collectively than alone.
David Tebbutt
Headteacher at
Park Junior School
“When we first started to consider joining a MAT one of my key concerns was that our school should be able to maintain its own identity. NPAT have not only allowed this to happen, but they have actively encouraged us to ensure and maintain our own unique identity. Its 18 months since we joined and I can honestly say its the best decision we ever made”
Professional Development
Great schools need great leaders and great staff, and NPAT schools pride themselves on attracting and retaining the best people to work in, lead and govern our schools. Our Trust provides a range of professional development opportunities for staff and governors including training, development and network groups, bespoke support from our trust Education Team and our annual NPAT Governance conference and Teaching Conference.

“From a personal perspective I cannot speak highly enough of the support and professional development I have received from NPAT. I have received formal and informal support and coaching from both the central team and external providers. This ultimately led to my internal promotion to Headteacher where the continued support I have received has made the transition into this role as smooth as possible ”
