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.
