Maplefields originally opened in 1998 on its previous site as a
primary BESD School and has developed over the years extending the
age range and provision offered.
In April 2007 the age range was extended from Primary to
Secondary (Year 1 to Year 11) and in September 2011 the Post 16
provision was set up extending the age range to 19 years old. In
September 2012 the school became an Academy. This was a considered
response by senior leaders, governors and staff to the school's
consistent outstanding status and desire to provide the best
possible learning outcomes for all pupils in the school
community.
The school serves the north of Northamptonshire (Kettering,
Corby, Wellingborough and East Northants), but some pupils come
from further afield including neighbouring local authorities if
places are available.
Most pupils travel on local authority transport. A small number
of pupils who live locally walk or cycle to school.
The school provides a Behaviour Outreach Service in the north of
the county and supports a number of BESD schools across the country
upon request with behaviour outreach and school improvement
work.
The Extended Team support parents/carers within the Maplefields
community and Outreach Service.
The school is also a member of the Fairfields Teaching School
Alliance group of schools and works with the National College of
School Leadership (NCSL) to support Headteacher training and
development (NPQH) placements.
Trainee teachers are currently supported through GTP (Graduate
Teacher Programme) and from September the ITT (Initial Teacher
Training).
