Burton Latimer Girls' School (Northamptonshire)

Location unknown, can you help?

Badge as depicted in Bunty #1 (18 Jan 1958)



This badge submission to Bunty seems little puzzling!

This web page suggests that since 1953 all children over the age of 11 have been transported by bus to a choice of Kettering Secondary Schools :

A Brief History of Burton Latimer - VII
Education
( https://www.burtonlatimer.info/history/brief-history-BL7school.html )

"Since 1953 all children over the age of 11 have been transported by bus to a choice of Kettering Secondary Schools (formerly decided by the 11+ selection) or more latterly to Barton Seagrave where the purpose-built comprehensive school, Latimer, serves Barton Seagrave and Burton Latimer, as well as those pupils who wish to attend from other parts of the borough. This school welcomed its first pupils in September 1976 and was officially opened by the Duchess of Gloucester on 11 March 1977. Pupils in the 11+ age range from Burton Latimer also have the opportunity to attend other senior schools within the area."

So which school might this have been?
