Coronavirus and NMPAT

Wednesday 16th September

Thank you to all of our partner schools who have enabled us to return to teaching this week. It is so good to be working with children and young people again. We are already back in 84% of the schools who have booked teaching for this year and are making active arrangements with the others. We will also be delivering 70 First Access projects in primary schools this term.

Our County Groups are having on-line meetings this week and will be starting smaller and shorter face to face rehearsals next week. Youth Theatre, Young Actors Company and Northampton Contemporary will all be starting on Saturday 19th September. Our NMPAT Virtual Centre launched last Saturday and has its first full meeting this weekend.

Thank you to all the amazing staff, schools, students and parents that are making this possible

NMPAT is back!

If you are visiting Kettering Road you will notice some changes, including hand sanitisers, a one way system in the corridors and restricted waiting spaces. Please help us to make the building safe for everyone. Please see our Policies page for an up to date version of the Coronavirus Risk Register

You can see what we have been doing in our COVID secure video.

We are delighted that we are starting to be able to make Music and Theatre once again!
