School days memories: 38 nostalgic pictures of Northampton schools 15 years ago

As we started 2026, the Chronicle & Echo has delved into its archives again to find pictures of schools in Northampton from 15 years ago.

All the pictures were taken between January and March in 2011 and will, we hope, bring back memories for those featured and those who knew them.
