Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

On behalf of our amazing children and staff, welcome to our school.
Stanton Cross is a new school in the heart of the Stanton Cross development in Wellingborough. We deliver an enriched, relevant, engaging and innovative curriculum which enables children to become knowledgeable, adaptable and confident to reach their own academic potential.
Eventually, we will educate 420 children in our state-of-the-art building but as we grow, we are opening to one year group at a time. We are a very diverse school with a third of our children speaking more than one language which makes our school a vibrant place to be.
We are part of Northampton Primary Academy Trust (NPAT), and we share the driving vision of innovation, high aspiration and achievement and a commitment to sport and the arts.
NPAT is a group of schools working in collaboration as one entity to improve and maintain high educational standards across the group. At Stanton Cross we drive the NPAT passion for excellent educational provision, along with a belief that children must remain at the heart of every decision made by our leaders at all levels, led us to develop a trust where we encourage our children, staff and friends to ‘Achieve Extraordinary Things’.
This is underpinned by our DARE belief and core values.
We show determination in all we do.
We try our best to achieve all the learning goals and tasks set.
We show respect for ourselves, others and the school.
We enjoy our time at Stanton Cross.
Our six values are:
Ambition - Respect – Responsibility – Honesty - Curiosity – Gratitude
