Overstone Park Primary School is a brand-new, non-selective, state-funded state-of-the-art primary school being constructed at the Overstone Leys development area in north-east Northampton.

The Secretary of State for Education has signed the Funding Agreement for Overstone Park Primary School, and we are now preparing to open with 30 Reception learners from September 2025. We will grow by adding a Reception intake each year in line with housing growth and increased demand until reaching full capacity as a two-form entry with 420 learners aged 4-11 years.

As our new flagship energy-efficient school is now scheduled for completion by April 2026, our Reception learners will be hosted at Wootton Park School, our sister school and also part of the Northampton Free School Trust, for the first two terms, between September 2025 and March 2026.

Based on the highly successful model established by the hugely oversubscribed all-through Wootton Park School, graded ‘Outstanding’ in all inspection categories in 2019, Overstone Park Primary School’s vision is founded on strong academic achievement, developing strong values and promoting citizenship, community and service, providing a ‘foundation for growth’ where every child will thrive and prosper.

Our first-rate teaching team will be led by our Headteacher, Mrs Kayleigh Smith, currently Vice Principal at Wootton Park School.

We are working closely with the Department for Education and West Northamptonshire Council to ensure the successful opening of this exceptional new provision and look forward to welcoming our founding families in September 2025.
