We are five small, vibrant, forward thinking village rural primary schools based in the beautiful countryside surrounding the market town of Towcester. The schools Whittlebury CE Primary School - Tiffield VA Primary School - Stoke Bruerne CE Primary School federated in 2012 and were the first federation of three schools in Northamptonshire.
This union has enabled us to pool our strengths and experiences in the classroom, alongside leadership and governance to create a richer and quality learning experience for all our children. This model that we have created for leadership of small schools has been replicated many times within the county. All schools were judged Good by Ofsted in 2013 with outstanding behaviour.
Gayton CE Primary School joined the federation in 2016. Yardley Gobion CE Primary is the latest school to join the Federation, officially in January 2023. We welcome them to the federation family Yardley Gobion CE Primary School .
