Admissions
Thank you for your interest in Northampton School for Girls. We are a single-sex community comprehensive for girls aged 11-16. We also offer a mixed Sixth Form provision, in which boys are also admitted and actively encouraged to do so.
We truly believe that a single-sex school provides a positive learning environment for our girls and that the parents of applicants for entry to Year 7 agree that it is the most appropriate school for their daughter.
