A Warm Welcome to Huxlow

At Huxlow we believe that students who are happy, feel safe and are taught well will enjoy school and as a result be successful.

We are passionate about caring for our students, ensuring that they are all known as individuals. Ofsted June 2016 stated that “everyone in the school puts pupil’s well-being at the centre of everything they do”.

Students are challenged to be as good as they possibly can be and supported to achieve this. Academic success is hugely important to us and we have a rich history of students of all abilities and from a wide variety of backgrounds achieving as well as they could.

However, schools are about far more than academic success and we believe that developing “The Whole Child” is one of our core responsibilities. In order to enjoy a successful adult life it is important that our students develop characteristics such as leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative, and communication.

I am hugely proud of our school and am happy to extend an invitation to all Parents/ Carers to come and visit us during the school day. Please contact us on enquiries@huxlow.northants.sch.uk and we will arrange a convenient time.

Year on year, Huxlow students achieve exceptional post-16 results in Science and other curriculum areas, and this year is no exception, with the highest grades gained in A Level Chemistry, Biology, History and Media.

96% of students who applied to University have accepted a place at one of their first choices.

Fantastic results in BTEC including Triple Distinction stars have paved the way to courses such as Sport Coaching with Physiotherapy apprenticeship and Business with Environmental studies. Excellent A level results have enabled students to go and study Civil Engineering, Natural Sciences and Psychology at competitive universities including Durham, Nottingham, Loughborough, Birmingham and Leeds.

Headteacher, Steve Gordon said: “These are excellent outcomes for our students who have studied A Levels and BTEC’s. It is down to the hard work of both students and staff. We have offered high quality careers advice to ensure that all students have studied courses that are well tailored to their talents and aspirations. This has resulted in record numbers gaining entry to prestigious Russell Group universities as well as sought-after apprenticeships, further education and employment prospects.

“We have been relentless in terms of excellent teaching and we are really proud of our students and the incredible commitment they have shown to their studies. Congratulations to the individuals who have achieved exceptional results which will secure their first choice of university.”

This year, the secondary school welcomed its largest sixth form to date, with the new Sixth Form Centre offering Year 12 and 13 students a dedicated area to pursue their studies and enjoy a thriving community hub. Numbers are due to rise again in September 2019, with more students each year choosing Huxlow for their post-16 studies. This is alongside record numbers choosing the school for Year 7 in the last two years.

Huxlow Science College, The Ferrers School and Rushden Academy work together to create a unique post-16 learning community, The East Northamptonshire College (TENC), combining the strengths of the three schools. With a long and excellent tradition of success, TENC offers students from across East Northamptonshire the widest range of courses in the County.
