student who goes there
this school is genuinely awful no teachers understand you and they all blame it on us being ‘teenagers’ because apparently ‘that’s what teenagers are like’ when in reality there is kids who genuinely struggle and it’s not fair at all and the teachers never listen to the students they take the teachers side, the teachers can wear anything they want and when it comes to students it’s apparently distracting when there is literally teachers with bright coloured nails and some pe teachers have tattoo...

THIS SCHOOL IS SEXIST AND SUPPORTS SEXUAL HARASSMENT!!!
This school preaches equality and a 'safe space' when it's all false protesting. One occasion for example; for the past two weeks or so my friend was being sexually harassed by a boy in our year. When said friend defended herself she was then put in reset and further punished by exclusion. The teachers then said 'Why didn't you come to school with these incidents' though if she did nothing would've been done about it, maybe a light warning but nothing extreme. Multiple witnesses have come forwar...

good for sports
teachers are quite understanding but some seem to be ignorant to certain people. kids that sit in the middle are forgotten about its either about the lowest or the highest of the bunch. behavioural system use to be simple but now its complicated and overthought. the effort is there but the school is just a sports school at the end of the day. good if ur good at football

Amazing school! Rules enforced, standsrd of teaching is good. Staff are incredibly friendly and accepting. Not a single day have i regretted moving to this school. Made my life a hell of a lot better.

I'm satisfied with this school
I've had children at Netherwood Academy for the past 2 years. Firstly the positives : The children enjoyed the lessons, the teaching staff were kind and understanding, the building is lovely, and communication with the school is good. A few minor negatives to mention : There were a few issues relating to bullying which did take a while to be resolved, the provisions for lunches were not always adequate, and there have been a few technical hitches getting my daughter connected to the online system for homework etc. since she was a late starter. Generally speaking, Netherwood doesn't have the best reputation and it ranks quite poorly in Ofsted reports, so I was reluctant to send my children there initially, however it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. My daughter, who started in Year 9, was actually pleasantly surprised that she really liked the lessons and the teaching staff, and was able to make some close friends quite quickly. My son in Year 8 is actually quite eager to return to school. I'm reluctantly de-registering the children in light of concerns regarding Covid-19, but that's not a reflection on the school. I hope to re-register my children at this school once the pandemic isn't as severe.
