Nucleus STEM Stream

Nucleus is Northampton Academy's STEM provision. STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are constantly in demand in the modern scientific world. As a result, excellent employment and future possibilities are available for young people who study the vast array of STEM subjects. 

At Northampton Academy, we want to provide opportunities for young people interested in STEM subjects to gain greater levels of experience and the highest level of qualifications in their chosen subjects. Alongside our Nucleus STEM Stream, we also want to broaden the horizons of all of our students through the various co-curricular programmes on offer. 

In addition to our excellent provision, we are committed to building on our students' cultural capital. We offer lecture programmes and various intellectual opportunities, set out in 6-week modules in which students choose to participate. We expect all students to cover at least four modules throughout the year. In addition, students are in touch with national and international partners through cultural exchange.
