A very warm welcome to Netherhall Mead Academy The pupils here are inspirational and at the heart of everything we do! We want them to enjoy school, have fun and be successful. The culture we have created ensures Netherhall Mead Academy is a place where 'everybody can shine.' We know our pupils do best when families work in partnership with the school.
We encourage families to visit us and take an active part in their child's learning. We also understand that sometimes families may face challenging times and do all we can to offer support and guidance. Our school offers a high-quality environment with excellent facilities including a swimming pool and accessible spaces for learning and personal care.
We value outdoor learning and thanks to the support and investment of the community, we have created a new and exciting 'classroom without walls', where pupils can explore and experience a sense of well-being in all weathers. I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of such an amazing school.
I am privileged to work alongside a highly skilled team who are committed to ensuring the best education and care for our pupils.
