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.
The best part of any day is a student proudly sharing their work. It was fantastic to see Reynold this week sharing his independent writing - the increase in his perseverance has made everyone proud #proud #independent #itswhywedowhatwedo

The students from Kestrels rounded off their 'Off with her head' theme wonderfully today by presenting their finished pieces of research on King Henry VIII and his six wives. https://t.co/3TXoIN4VFD
