Northampton Academy was delighted to welcome Olivia Taylor, a student from the University of Cambridge, currently in her second year reading Psychological and Behavioural Science at Clare College. In addition to her studies, Olivia is an ambassador for the Target Scheme, which aims to encourage students from under-represented groups to consider applying to Cambridge.

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.

Year 9 Nucleus STEM students visited Bletchley Park to investigate the different types of encryption techniques that were used in the war as well as in today’s society.

Northampton Academy Careers Department welcomed a team of four NHS Healthcare professionals to the first of this year’s “Breakfast with a Professional” programme.
