Vision and Values

"Where learners grow..."

 At Kettering Park Infant Academy, we believe every child deserves an exceptional start to their education. We create a nurturing environment where children feel known, valued and supported to discover their strengths, develop their curiosity and believe in what they can achieve.

Through high-quality teaching, strong relationships and an ambitious curriculum, we give children the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish.

Our values of Kindness, Perseverance, Independence and Ambition are at the heart of school life. We encourage children to be kind, persevere when learning is challenging, become increasingly independent and have the ambition to achieve their goals. We want every child to feel safe to ask questions, try new things, make mistakes and learn from them, developing a lifelong love of learning.

At Kettering Park Infants, learners grow. They develop academically, socially and emotionally, building the knowledge, character, confidence and independence they need to thrive.


About Kettering Park Infant Academy

Kettering Park Infant Academy is situated on the north side of Kettering and serves a diverse community. The school was originally built in 1889, with a distinctive Victorian main building that has been developed and extended over the years while retaining its character and heritage.

We are a three-form entry infant school, with nine classes across Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Each year group has three classes of up to 30 children. Our school environment provides children with a welcoming and purposeful place to learn, with our historic building, central hall and outdoor spaces providing a range of opportunities for learning, play and exploration.

We have a dedicated outdoor learning and play environment, including our Foundation Stage outdoor area, providing children with opportunities to explore, develop their physical skills, work collaboratively and extend their learning beyond the classroom.
