In return, the committed staff team provide high quality lessons that are purposeful and build on pupils’ knowledge and skills where they make the most of the Iatest technology.

The local GAT Corby cluster of successful primary and secondary academies support each other well and work closely together. There is a well-developed network built on trust and support.
