Church School

Church of England

Malcolm Arnold Prep School is a Church of England school, and forms part of the Diocese of Peterborough. Our church vision of 'love yourself, love others, love the world', ('Love your neighbour as yourself,' Mark 12:31), permeates all aspects of our school and forms a strong moral and ethical compass for pupils.

At Malcolm Arnold Preparatory School (MAPS)we follow the values and virtues of the Christian faith and welcome pupils from all faiths and none.

We have links with our community and our Parish Church, Holy Trinity and St. Paul.

You can find out more about Holy Trinity and St Paul here: https://htspnorthampton.webs.com

We also have links with St Matthews Church and All Saints' Church, especially through the provision of choral music: http://stmatthewsnorthampton.org.uk and http://www.allsaintsnorthampton.co.uk/

Following our 2017 SIAMS inspection (The Church version of Ofsted) we were awarded “Good”.
