Vernon Terrace Primary School is a primary school situated on the outer east side of Northampton. We benefit from being near to Abington Park and city centre attractions such as theatre companies, cinemas and sports grounds all of which provide outdoor external enrichment opportunities.

Our vision, alongside our mission statement, is to create successful, enthusiastic learners who are confident, critical thinkers. We want our children to develop an appreciation of their diverse community recognising the strengths diversity brings. Our broad and balanced curriculum aims to create knowledgeable, curious global citizens who go onto inspire further generations.

Our dedicated staff take a holistic approach to teaching. They have high expectations of all children placing no ceiling on their learning. We believe that by setting high expectations, our children’s motivation will increase and in turn they will achieve more than they anticipate.

At Vernon Terrace Primary School, we are proud of our dedication to educating children with special educational needs (SEND). We have two SEND bases within school. One specialises in the education for children who are deaf/have partial hearing, and the second for children with social, emotional, mental, health needs (SEMH). Children who attend either base also integrate into mainstream classes.

The children at Vernon Terrace Primary School are very well behaved due to teachers treating every child as an individual and using positive behaviour management strategies. Children love coming to school and have a positive relationship with staff.

The children’s personal development is just as important to us as their academic achievement. We have adopted daily Philosophy for Education sessions; we have included character education to lessons; and we prioritise the teaching of a full PSHE (Personal, social, health education & RSHE (Relationship, Sexual, Health Education) curriculum. In doing so, we aim to ensure children know how to keep healthy and safe. Additionally, we want the children to form healthy, respectful relationships within their community and with one another.
