Northamptonshire Schools
Strong state schools, grammar access and a direct line to the country’s top senior schools.

Rachel Johnston
Schools are the single most common reason families move to Northamptonshire, and the county rewards the choice.
High-quality state schools abound, with a real effort to sustain the small village schools that keep communities alive, and for some areas the Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire grammars are a realistic option. A strong network of prep schools feeds many of the country’s leading seniors, several of them in or near the county.
Below is how it fits together, and how I help you get school and home right at the same time.

The questions families ask me most about Northamptonshire schools.
Genuinely strong, with the county keen to keep its village schools alive as the heart of their communities.
Depending on where you settle, the selective grammars in Warwickshire and Buckinghamshire can also be within reach, which widens the options considerably.
The county sits at the centre of an exceptional cluster, with a strong prep network feeding many of the country’s top seniors. Our Private Schools near Northamptonshire page has the full directory and the detail for families moving from abroad for a British education.
Alongside our educational consultants and our partners at the Good Schools Guide, we can help you shape the school choice first, then find the property to suit.
School choice and house search handled as one job, not two.
Not necessarily, and if schooling is not part of your search it can pay to look where others are not. But it still pays to do the research, and our Property & Private Schools page explains how school choice shapes a property search either way.
How we help you get school and home right
Choosing a school and choosing a home are really one job, and I handle both. Working alongside our educational consultants and the Good Schools Guide, we shape the school choice first, then I find, assess and negotiate the right property within a sensible reach of it, and see the purchase through to completion.
