Netherhall Learning Campus is a 3-19 school with 1300 students, including the Creative and Media Studio School of around 120, and it is my passion to provide our students with the most outstanding education so that they have every opportunity possible for the future.
This also needs to be balanced with outstanding pastoral care so that our students learn, grow and develop into the best version of themselves.
Netherhall Learning Campus consists of four schools, covering the full age and ability range from 3 – 19 years, each with its own distinctive ethos; each with its own individual identity and each catering to the specific needs of its students.
Whilst the four schools are linked by a common philosophy and by common expectations, each school has its distinct and own characteristics that offer all students a continuous journey from Early Years entry through Key Stages 1 to 4 and beyond to Diploma, AS and A level studies, via the Studio School.
