This creates a vibrant educational hub where inclusion, collaboration, and excellence are central to the student experience.
From September 2025, the school contains:
One Reception and one Year 1 class (as the primary builds to its full 3FE (630 capacity)

Our Journey So Far
Northstowe Secondary College opened in 2019 with its first Year 7 cohort of just 71 students.

An additional new specialist block for 11-16 education
A state-of-the-art primary school building
