Beyond the Classroom

Learning doesn't just happen within the school day or inside the classroom. The world around us provides endless opportunities to explore, discover and grow.

Whether it's reading a new book, asking questions, exploring nature, developing a new skill or experiencing something for the first time, every moment can inspire learning.

At Hatton Academies Trust, we believe in enabling young people to fulfil their potential by providing opportunities to learn, achieve and thrive.

We hope all our families are enjoying a wonderful summer filled with discovery and memorable moments.

As we look ahead to September and the opportunities the new academic year will bring, we wish everyone a safe, relaxing and well-deserved summer break.

Thank you for being part of our Hatton Academies Trust community.

A wonderful day yesterday celebrating the official ribbon-cutting for the new classrooms at Earls Barton Primary School!

It was fantastic to see pupils, staff, governors and guests come together to mark this exciting milestone and celebrate the completion of the school’s £3.5m transformation project. These new learning spaces will provide even more opportunities for pupils to learn, grow and thrive for years to come.
