About Us
Northampton International Academy is a local school with a global vision and this is at the very core of our curriculum offer. Every school in the East Midlands Academy Trust (EMAT) is committed to providing the highest standard of education so that all children are supported to be the best that they can be. This will be achieved by the delivery of a well-planned and highly effective curriculum which is driven by our values. We believe in the transformational power of education. Transformation is in the very fabric of our building, having been transformed from the derelict and disused Royal Mail sorting office into a state-of-the-art educational facility. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, with key stage 3 learners accessing the specialist facilities on a rotational basis. In addition to our subject-based curriculum, our character education has been introduced throughout our all-through school as its DNA from reception through to Year 13. This character curriculum helps to prepare children for future learning and their adult lives. Focusing on the characteristics of Responsibility, Collaboration, Respect, Care, Excellence and Aspiration, our DNA of NIA complements our subject curriculum and our House system. As a school, we are still growing and we have a range of exciting opportunities across the school including positions with additional responsibilities. One of those exciting opportunities is to be part of the Combined Cadet Force with the Navy which now has a unit within NIA.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

General Roles And Responsibilities
Against a background of increasing complexity of special and pastoral needs, EMAT reviewed the traditional classroom based support staff to better meet the needs of our students. This led to the creation of the Inclusion Support Practitioner role, designed to enhance teaching and learning by:
- Supporting consistently high expectations and standards in every classroom
- Enthusing, engaging, and motivating students to achieve their best
- Building trust and confidence in both students and colleagues
In this role, you will be trained to be able to work more proactively and independently, providing targeted support to a range of students both with and without specific needs, adapting learning, and leading small group or one-to-one interventions. The position offers clear professional progression, with training and support to empower staff to make a real difference in student progress and development.
In addition, Inclusion Support Practitioners will collaborate closely with teachers, internally contracted specialists like educational psychologists, speech and language professionals, family liaison teams, and through our unique partnership with the NHS have access to Education Mental Health Support Teams, and external services such as local authority teams, ensuring a joined-up approach to each child’s learning, wellbeing, and personal development.
