About the School
Boddington C of E Primary Academy is a small rural Church of England primary school located in the village of Upper Boddington, Northamptonshire. At the heart of the local community, the school is committed to providing a nurturing, inclusive environment where children are encouraged to flourish academically, socially and spiritually through a strong foundation of Christian values. Small class sizes, close partnerships with families and a supportive village ethos enable pupils to thrive and achieve their full potential.
The school has a proud history dating back to 1870, when it was built on church land following the first Education Act through the efforts of Reverend Edward Sale and local benefactors. While the original Victorian school building remains in use today, the school has evolved over time through the addition of modern facilities and learning spaces. As part of the Evolve Church Academy Trust, Boddington continues to combine its rich heritage with a commitment to delivering high-quality education for children in the local rural community.
