Are you eager to lead a school where children shine, staff thrive, and the community supports you? INMAT and The Abbey Primary School are looking for an exceptional Headteacher to take our amazing school to new heights.

Why The Abbey Primary School?
📍 Nestled in the heart of Northampton, we’re more than just a school, we’re a community that believes in every child’s potential.
🌟 Our reputation is exemplary, our children are enthusiastic and eager to learn, and our staff are dedicated and ready to innovate.

What Makes Us ‘The Abbey’?

We strive to deliver an inspiring and varied curriculum to our children. Our curriculum provides a strong foundation with clear progression of substantive knowledge and disciplinary skills which are built on from Nursery to Year 6. Immersive, hands-on experiences ignite a love of learning and knowledge organisers are used to ensure the foundations of learning are built upon.    

Throughout their learning journey, our vision is for them to leave us with an enriched knowledge of the world around them, alongside developing curiosity, creativity and independence, preparing them for their next stage of education.  We strive to encourage children to be all they can be, stay true to themselves and celebrate their successes.  

We’re proud of our whole-school community code, known as The 5 B's. The 5 B's are based on the core values that we aspire to and these are promoted throughout the school.

Our core values are:

• Be Yourself
• Be Caring and Kind
• Be Thoughtful and Fair
• Be Honest and Helpful
• Be your Best
