Schools in Towcester

A compact market town of around eleven thousand on the ancient course of Watling Street, Towcester carries more than two thousand years of settlement in West Northamptonshire: a Roman posting station, a Saxon frontier, and a place recalled in Dickens's Pickwick Papers. The town's racecourse, one of the oldest in England, marks its eastern edge, while Northampton, eight miles north, provides mainline rail to Birmingham in around fifty minutes.

The school-competitive belt running through Towcester and Potterspury draws families from surrounding villages who weigh their primary and secondary options along the A5 corridor. Silverstone and Blakesley extend the rural catchment to the west.
