From the Daventry Hill School
I am honoured to serve as the Creating Tomorrow Multi Academy Trust's Head of School at Daventry Hill. We appreciate you visiting our website, and we hope you find it informative. In the South West of Northamptonshire, Daventry Hill School principally benefits the friendly neighbourhood of Daventry and the nearby districts. We are a co-educational, four- to eight-year-old-only school for students with cognition and learning challenges. The school started in September 2016 and has since expanded significantly. Staff, governors, parents, guardians, and members of the local community work together to support our young people in getting the education they need to become more independent and have better prospects in life. Fun, safety, and happiness are essential components of all we do. Based on Preparation for Adulthood, our curriculum has been created to give our young people useful and meaningful outcomes. Each stage of the curriculum focuses on preparing our students for the next stage, developing key skills while actively promoting fundamental British Values and our own school core values. We would be happy to hear from you if you have any questions about the school and what we do, or if you would like to set up a visit. Inquire with the school office.
