Northborough Primary School

Our Vision: We are a welcoming and inclusive school offering a broad educational experience, inspiring children to achieve their best.

Welcome to our website. Northborough School is a friendly, one form entry primary school serving the villages of Northborough, Maxey and Deeping Gate, as well as attracting many children from the surrounding areas.

We believe in enabling children to develop a deep sense of curiosity and a real thirst for learning. This combined with self confidence and resilience, will equip them to take full advantage of the many experiences that are on offer. Our curriculum is exciting and well supported through our lovely orchard area, outdoor classroom, visits programme and enhancement activities. Our children enjoy their learning and are well prepared for each step of their development and education.
