In 2008 it had a school roll of 1,163, of which 137 were in the [[Sixth Form]]. It is an [[Academy]].

When the academy was founded a suitable name was required to reflect the school’s aspirations and ambitions, and also identify it with the town and county. Sir Christopher Hatton had strong connections with Northamptonshire and with Wellingborough in particular.

It stated:
<blockquote>
"Most students come from the town and surrounding villages.The socio-economic circumstances of the pupils are very varied, but around the national average overall. Attainment on entry is around the national average, but the school used to admit 10% of its intake each year based on a test, and some of these pupils remain in [[GCSE]] classes and the sixth form. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, 11%, is around the national average, as is that of pupils identified as having special educational needs, 16.5%. The proportion of those with statements of special need is slightly higher than average, at 4%. These are mainly linked to moderate learning difficulties and social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Most pupils are from a white British heritage, although there are about 20% from other backgrounds, mainly Asian or Caribbean. There are ten pupils whose first language is not English. The school was awarded a Sportsmark in 2002, and a Schools’ Achievement Award in 2003".
</blockquote>
Ofsted's overall evaluation was that:
<blockquote>"This is a good and improving school, which provides good value for money. The headteacher provides very good leadership, supported by governors and other key staff. The school has begun to address most of the issues raised in the last inspection over the last 15 months. The teachers and management have successfully taken on a range of initiatives and staff development programmes that have analysed the school’s weaknesses and, to a large part, remedied them. There is a positive ethos for learning in the school".
