As a brand new Academy, Purple Oaks opened in Kingsthorpe, Northampton, sponsored by the Greenwood Academies Trust (GAT). A major capital building programme costing £5m was secured to provide a state of the art building and facilities for students and staff. The new building was completed in December 2017 and the academy moved in on the 3rd January 2018.
Purple Oaks Academy will provide 100 places for students with a diagnosis of autism and/or Severe Learning Difficulties with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) naming Purple Oaks Academy as the appropriate provision.
Elm class had a fantastic visit to Bradlaugh fields this week as a reward visit for all their hard work this term. They enjoyed developing their social skills away from the academy. #reward #socialskills #outdoorlearning https://t.co/scTtLXzZFK
