• Northampton High School is confident, caring and future focused, and aims to create an environment where girls are seen clearly, heard properly and encouraged to aim high.

• Will suit families seeking a substantial girls' day school in Northampton where ambition, wellbeing and a clear voice for girls are all explicit parts of the culture.

Admissions at Northampton High School are polished, welcoming and very clearly designed around the strengths of an all-girls school with continuity from age 2 to 18. The proposition is likely to suit families who want the academic and pastoral focus of girls' education, backed by the wider confidence and infrastructure of the GDST.

Scholarships and bursaries are clearly part of the published offer through the GDST, with financial support positioned as part of widening access for talented girls. Families are still more likely to choose the school for the quality of the girls' education and the sense of long-term continuity than for funding alone.

The overall picture is strong and coherent, with the school foregrounding its girls-only environment, broad age range and a recent inspection description of a calm, happy and purposeful place to learn. Parents should still visit because the real issue is whether the school's tone feels energising and confidence-building for their daughter.
