The Northamptonshire Arabic Supplementary School was founded in 1998 by a small group of people from the local community to fill a gap in the needs of this community.
By the end of 1999 classes were held for about 2 hours on Sundays at Kingsthorpe Community College and later at Malcolm Arnold Academy. Today the Arabic supplementary school takes place at Northampton Academy, still on Sundays, with 3 hour sessions.
When the school started it catered for around 15 students. Lots of families got involved in the beginning and the school continued to grow. The school has now 50-60 students, from infants (4yrs) to A-level students, and offers adult classes as well.

The main focus of the Arabic supplementary school has always been the Arabic language. As the school had developed, the teaching focus has expanded as well and now includes more about culture, festivals and traditions of the Arabic communities connected by a common language.
