[edit] Location
Located on the Roman road A5 between Towcester and Milton Keynes and roughly 5 miles away from Silverstone where the British Grand Prix is held, Potterspury Lodge School is set in the countryside of near where Northamptonshire borders Buckinghamshire.
Because of the location the school is in, it tries to make as much of it as possible. The school's grounds contain a sports field, an adventure playground, fishing lake, sports hall, tennis court, basketball court and skate park.
[edit] Curriculum
As an independent school, Potterspury Lodge is allowed freedom in its teaching; for instance the boys in Years 10 and 11 follow a SP-ASDAN Life Skills programme but at the same time students take the GSCE's like a normal comprehensive.
[edit] Special Needs
Previously the school was mostly used for children who had problems behaving or being in a classroom situation but recently it has tended to take students who are part of the autistic spectrum or who suffer with Asperger's Syndrome. Because of this the school employs an educational psychologist, child psychiatrist and a curative eurythmy Therapist
