My team and I are delighted to that you are considering joining our team.

We are proud of our one-form entry primary school, nestled in the heart of the village of Harpole, conveniently located near M1 junction 16 and close to Duston. Our school is a place where relationships matter, between staff, children and families and where every member of the community is valued.

We are very fortunate to have the support of the Combined Harpole Charity Trust, whose ongoing contributions allow us to enrich our curriculum through specialist teaching in sport, music, and art. The trust’s input has also enabled us to undertake a significant refurbishment of the school, creating a warm, welcoming and inspiring environment for all.

We also highly value and celebrate our strong links with the local community, including All Saints Church Harpole, Harpole Football Club, the local schools cluster and the Northampton Sports Partnership.

We believe in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where children feel happy, safe and inspired to learn. Our dedicated team works collaboratively to support one another and we are committed to staff wellbeing and professional growth.

If you would like to find out more about our school and what makes us special, I encourage you to contact the school office to arrange a visit or a conversation with me.
