Kettering Buccleuch Academy is an all-through academy which serves pupils aged 4 to 18 years.

The academy continues to go from strength to strength, with happy and motivated staff, a supportive culture and excellent opportunities for personal and professional development through our strong CPD offer. Our culture is built on unapologetically high standards, ensuring that both our students and staff feel equipped, valued, encouraged and cared for.

We strive to be exceptional in all that we do and firmly believe that excellence is a habit. Each one of us has untapped potential, and our strong culture of encouragement and support helps us to unleash it. We recognise that we are strong as individuals, but stronger together, and we celebrate the diversity of our community, working in harmony to achieve our shared vision.

The academy is part of United Learning’s Northamptonshire and North Oxfordshire Cluster, working closely with Campion School, Montsaye Academy, Northampton Academy, and North Oxfordshire Academy. This collaboration allows us to share expertise, access joint services, and enrich the educational experience for all. 

Kettering Buccleuch Academy is situated in North Northamptonshire, in the town of Kettering. The academy is well connected, with easy access to nearby towns and cities and excellent road and rail links, while retaining a strong sense of local community. We moved into our modern, purpose-built building in January 2013, providing high-quality facilities and enhanced learning environments across all phases of the academy. Staff also benefit from comfortable workspaces and convenient on-site amenities, helping to create a supportive and professional environment where they can thrive in their roles.

“At the heart of leaders’ ambition is a commitment to the professional development of staff.” Ofsted, 2021
