Schools in Corby
Corby is a large town in North Northamptonshire, developed extensively in the twentieth century through the steel industry, with 28 state schools - 20 primaries and 5 secondaries. North Northamptonshire Council co-ordinates admissions following local government reorganisation in 2021. The town has several distinct residential areas including Danesholme, Beanfield, and Kingswood, each with local primary schools using catchment-area priority.
Secondary schools in Corby include Corby Business Academy, Corby Technical School, Lodge Park Academy, and Kingswood Secondary Academy. Corby Technical School is a specialist technical school with a specific aptitude criterion. Northamptonshire has a small number of grammar schools in Wellingborough, Northampton and Kettering, but Corby itself has no selective provision. The area has seen significant population growth, so families should verify place availability with North Northamptonshire Council each cycle.
