Schools in Kettering
Kettering has 51 schools - 39 primary and 5 secondary - with co-ordinated admissions managed by North Northamptonshire Council. The town has seen steady housing growth on its western and northern fringes, increasing pressure on school places in newer developments and shifting catchment boundaries annually.
Most Kettering secondary schools are academies publishing their own individual admissions policies. Straight-line distance from home to school is the most common tiebreaker used after sibling priority, and last-distance-offered data is included in each school's annual information booklet.
