Click here to see information provided at our Presentation Evenings.

The school will admit 10% of its total entry on aptitude for Sport and Performing Arts (Dance/Drama/Music). There are optional tests for these areas in October before the application deadline. Your child does not have to do these tests if you feel they do not have an aptitude (natural ability) in these areas and it will not harm their application to the school if they do not. Please read the information that relates specifically to these tests on the 'Optional Aptitude Tests' link or click here.

Apply to us using the link on our website to complete the Northampton School Application Form. You must do this by midnight on Thursday 31st October 2024.

We will email you about our Common Ability Test which takes place on Saturday 16^th November 2024 which all applicants* to the school have to take. You will receive this email by the end of Friday 8^th November at the latest with all the information related to this.

All admissions events for Northampton School will be held at our new school site on Thorpeville in Moulton. Please ensure that you read carefully any information that we send to you with regard to visiting the school site for any of the admissions events.

We will write to you on 3rd March 2025 to let you know the outcome of your application. The Local Authority will also notify you on their portal.

*Please note that boys who apply to both Northampton School and Northampton School for Boys for September 2025 entry will only have to take the Common Ability Test once. Parents must, however, complete separate applications for each school in order to be considered for a place at each school.
