While Centres are not able to meet in person, we have a brand new initiative: NMPATVC our new virtual Centre.
View the full timetable here: VC timetable
NMPAT Daventry Centre meets at DSLV every Saturday morning in term time. We pride ourselves in offering activities that are relevant and of current interests to the young people in the town and surrounding area.
A timetable of face-to-face activities will be made available once we have confirmation around resuming meetings at the Centre.
A recent addition to our timetable is a Ukulele class which has proved extremely popular for all age groups. Another new venture is Rock School, for those wanting to specialise in Rock, Pop and contemporary music.
These are in addition to our usual popular classes which include:
We hold our concerts at Christmas and at the end of the summer term; our senior groups perform regularly at charity and community events and we support and enter local and national music festivals. Our priority is to give everyone an opportunity to perform in a friendly and supportive environment.
The Rock School has several other performances throughout the year, with many of its members starting their own rock bands at school.

7th April 2021
We can confirm that the Kettering Road Music and Arts Centre will reopen to visitors, subject to our COVID safe modifications, from Monday 12th April. Individual lessons can recommence and rehearsals for County Groups which continued online last term, will be able to start face-to-face.
Government advice for Out Of School Settings means that we will still be employing 2m distancing with bubbles limited to 15 students at a time, so there will still be an online element to our rehearsals. We will begin the planning process for each of the groups now and send you information about our intentions as soon as possible. For groups that were not rehearsing last term, please assume that these will not be restarting immediately, unless you hear differently from you group director.
To keep Kettering Road Music and Arts Centre COVID secure, we will be maintaining our one-way system and ask all visitors to wear masks in the corridors. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer any waiting areas for parents.
We look forward to seeing all our students at Kettering Road or in school as soon as we are able.
Peter Smalley, Chief Executive
