The Gateway School

Last Friday, Sarah Bool, our MP for South Northants, popped along to visit The Gateway School.

With the recently released schools white paper “Every Child Achieving and Thriving” being discussed, she was keen to understand more about how our special school, which supports students with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), functions.

Sarah toured the school during the week’s enrichment sessions, including taking in a drama workshop, creating clay figures around wire frames in art, baking apple crumble in cookery and teaching personal training in the gym.

Chatting to both staff and students, it was great to share the positive impact our school has on the lives of the young people attending TGS, as well as highlight some of the challenges we face.

But even better, it was a fantastic opportunity for students to meet our local parliamentary representative in person.

Yesterday we welcomed guests to officially open our TGS2 facilities. Thanks to Tobias who cut the ribbon along with the Deputy Lieutenant.

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the official opening of the transformative new expansion at The Gateway School in Towcester — a milestone that brings carefully designed learning spaces to support a broader, more inclusive curriculum for students.

The Gateway School, part of the Creating Tomorrow Trust, is a specialist secondary school for young people aged 11–16 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), whose primary needs relate to social, emotional and/or mental health (SEMH).

The expansion now includes a gym, food technology suite, ICT and science rooms, a drama studio, nurture spaces, a multi-use games area (MUGA), a horticulture area, and a refurbished sports hall and pool.

We welcomed a few visitors last week for a "first look" at our brand new facilities. We can't wait to welcome everyone this September as we grow our school family. 🤩

We're excited to announce that construction started to refurbish old, unused facilities on our site in July. It's going to add another vital 55 spaces to our school and provide much needed new vocational facilities.
