Dear applicant

NPAT Central Team Administrator Vacancy

The Northampton Primary Academy Trust Partnership (NPAT) is a collaboration of the following schools that first started in 2012:

  • Abington Vale Primary School
  • East Hunsbury Primary School
  • Ecton Brook Primary School
  • Headlands Primary School
  • Lings Primary School
  • Rectory Farm Primary School
  • Simon de Senlis Primary School
  • Weston Favell Primary School

With responsibility for approximately 3100 children across Northampton, NPAT is driven by a vision ofinnovation, high aspiration and achievement, and a commitment to sport and the arts. This approach is encapsulated in our motto:

‘Extraordinary Children Doing Extraordinary Things’

NPAT schools all share this common vision and are committed to these principles, whilst retaining the freedom to innovate and develop their own identity and character. The Partnership is built on the principle of synergy; that a collaboration of vibrant and successful schools ensures that we can achieve collectively what a single school couldn’t achieve alone. NPAT improves our schools using collaboration and innovation through partnership working that brings together children, parents, teachers and school leaders;

‘My school is your school; your children are ‘our’ children.’

Within the partnership, schools will have differing strengths and needs at different times and all schools are committed to an ethos of mutual support and sharing of practice.

As NPAT continues to grow, the NPAT Central Team is being developed in order to ensure that we continue to support our schools effectively as the Trust grows. You will be joining the team at an exciting time where there will be opportunities for continued professional development and the right applicant will be able to make the role their own.

We look forward to receiving your application.

Kind regards

Julia Kedwards

NPAT Chief Executive Officer
