Our 2022-23 Elite Sports Programme continues to grow. The 4-week trial process in September saw the attendance of 228 young athletes: 73 for netball and 155 for football. As a result of our assessment protocols and squad balances, across Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, we have taken; 51 for netball and 60 for football.

The day started with Year 8 STEM waiting in the school cafeteria, where Mrs Staff divided the large group into two, so we could separate ourselves for the minibus. When we sat down on the minibus, we smoothly made our way up to Silverstone - the trip took 30 minutes. We stayed in our groups and experienced two different activities when we arrived.

As part of their co-curricular work, Nucleus STEM Students have been opting to do six-week modules in different areas of STEM.

Sixth Form students presented a STEM lecture based on their recent EPQ project about artificial intelligence. The students talked about the developments of AI since 2010 and its presence in microeconomics and healthcare, as well as AI’s application within healthcare.

On Thursday, 24th November, Northampton Academy hosted our annual Year 5 Multisport Festival on the rubber crumb. The Northampton Academy Sports Leaders had utilised a twilight training session to collaborate, designing session plans in Rugby, Handball, Fitness, Team Building and Cricket skills to deliver on the day.
