Making the right choice of school is a major decision for any parent or carer. We all want our children to be happy, secure and to thrive in a supportive, caring environment. However, we also expect that they will be challenged academically and will develop confidence as they work to achieve their goals.

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, the High school and Creative and Media school retain their own particular characteristics.

From Year 7 onwards, pupils follow a range of learning pathways, tailored to meet their individual need. The schools aim to provide students with as wide a range of options as possible to adequately prepare them for training, further and higher education and the challenges of life beyond the school gates. The standard of teaching has been consistently rated ‘good’ or better in successive OfSTED inspections.

Among Kirklees schools, only Netherhall Learning Campus offers children and young adults with 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.

Pupils may join any of the schools at any time. Regardless of the stage at which they start to attend, all students will experience the unique benefit of an education that has been planned by specialist teachers for all stages of a child’s learning journey.

This means that there is:

• A common standard and expectation of dress, behaviour and standards of presentation

• High quality teaching

• Innovative curriculum development

• A stimulating and attractive working environment

• A recognition of the importance of parents and carers as partners in the learning journey of our children.


"At Netherhall Learning Campus we are dedicated to unlocking the potential of all our students. That’s why our motto is ‘Success for all’"
