Northern House School is the sponsor school of Northern House Academy Trust, set up in 2012. On 17 June 2019, the trust gave notice of its intention to rebroker all its schools and cease its work. The chair of the trust has changed since the last inspection in March 2016. The headteacher had been in post since the start of the academic year. She is the second person to hold this position since the previous inspection. Other members of the senior team and a large proportion of staff have also changed. The school provides specialist education for up to 86 pupils aged five to 11. All have EHC plans for social, emotional and mental health needs. Many also have autism spectrum disorder. A very small number of pupils attend Path Hill Outdoors to help them transition to Northern House full-time.
