School Life

The Netherhall Student

High expectations and high standards of good behaviour are essential. We aim for our classes to be stimulating but we also believe they should be ordered and calm. Effective discipline is dependent upon good relationships between staff and students. Trust and mutual respect are very important to us. 

Rewards

Students respond positively to praise and we are always keen to acknowledge and reward students’ success. Our awards focus on academic achievement, progress, effort and contributions to the community through our focus on PRIDE:
