IT Girls Allowed is an event hosted and organised by Barclaycard, designed to inspire Key Stage3 girls to consider IT as one of their chosen subjects for GCSE, and possibly even a career in the field. A group of Year 9 students attended the event and enjoyed a day of information and challenges based around robotics, coding and encryption. 

The Careers department at Northampton Academy recognises that skills such as networking are an essential asset to our students, as they continue to develop their awareness of the industry they aspire to be a part of.
