"A great all-round experience for our daughter"

We are really pleased with the all-round experience Netherwood has provided for our daughter so far. The school day is well-structured, the teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. We've been impressed by the range of extracurricular activities on offer and the support the school provides for students with additional needs. We feel confident that our daughter is receiving a great education at Netherwood and we're excited to see her continue to thrive here.

"Excellent school with a great team of teachers!"

We are so happy with the progress our son has made since joining Netherwood Academy. The facilities are excellent and the teachers are always willing to listen and help. The values of scholarship, curiosity, tenacity, responsibility and respect are clearly embedded in the school and we feel reassured that our son is in a safe and supportive environment. We would highly recommend Netherwood to anyone considering a secondary school for their child.

"Good school, but could improve in some areas"

My son had a generally positive experience at Netherwood, but there were a few areas where the school could improve. The facilities are good, but I felt that the school could do more to support students with special educational needs. The teachers were mostly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, but sometimes communication with parents could be better. Overall, I think Netherwood is a good school, but it could benefit from a bit more focus on supporting students with additional needs.
