The Netherhall School is part of the Anglian Learning family of schools. We are a thriving and highly distinctive co-educational 11–18 school, serving Cambridge City and beyond. We are proud to have been at the centre of high-quality educational activity in Cambridge since 1871, 154 years and counting.
Our school values centre on establishing a strong community based on great relationships. They are summed up in the phrase, 'Inspiring, Individual, Inclusive.' We seek to develop a strong sense of belonging in our students, building their understanding of the world around them and supporting their development as successful citizens.
We believe that students learn best in an environment which inspires them, with high-quality facilities in purpose-built spaces. Also that students deserve the most inspiring teachers and support staff delivering a world-class curriculum. In this environment, students thrive and, in turn, inspire us.
