Some parents are concerned that pupils from villages surrounding Towcester have not been offered places at Sponne School for the academic year 24/25.

During discussions concerning the expansion of housing in Towcester, residents were assured that Sponne School had the capacity to support the town's growth in addition to the usual local numbers.

I have written to the CEO of WNC, Anna Earnshaw, to ask for an urgent update on how parents’ concerns can be addressed.
