Moulton School is a successful, popular and over-subscribed school on the northern boundary of Northampton. The DSP at MSSC opened in January 2024 and is a warm and welcoming space for up to 30 students, providing an enhanced mainstream provision for students who have an EHCP with specific Autism related needs. Students will have timetables which enables them to access a mainstream curriculum that is supplemented with tailored lessons and planned interventions.

MSSC was graded Good in its last two Ofsted inspections, and there is a strong commitment to further improvement based on effective teaching and learning and high expectations of students. Whilst maintaining firm discipline, built around our ASPIRE ethos and school values, the school is deeply committed to supporting the development of whole child, and is one of very few schools to hold the Restorative Services Quality Mark.
