Laxton Junior School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Laxton Junior School is an independent co-educational day school and a proud part of The Corporation of Oundle School, a charitable trust founded in 1556. The junior school itself was founded in 1973 and has been based on its current site since 2002, sharing the same governing body as Oundle School. At the heart of the school's approach is a commitment to children's happiness and an inclusive education built on five core values: love of learning, care, opportunity, community and quality. The school works to help every child grow into a kind, respectful, confident and resilient person, ready to thrive in all areas of life ahead of them. Pupils are drawn from a wide catchment area and represent a broad range of needs and backgrounds. The school provides additional support for children with special educational needs or disabilities, and adapts the curriculum to stretch its most able learners. A small number of pupils speak English as an additional language and are well supported within the school community.

Pupils at Laxton Junior School are not permitted to have mobile or smart technology (which has 3G, 4G or 5G connectivity) on their person. Should this technology be required for a specific purpose (eg walking home after school) parents must contact the school and have the device stored in the front office. Watches with pedometers are permitted.
