The Netherhall School & Sixth Form Centre is a secondary school in the Queen Edith ward of Cambridge, England. Its logo is the crest of Cambridge and is one of the largest schools in the area in terms of capacity and one of the highest achieving in GCSE grades. Feeder primary schools traditionally include Queen Edith, Cherry Hinton Juniors, Fawcett, The Spinney and Colville. It serves the south and east of Cambridge as well as villages which have become considered suburbs such as Cherry Hinton, Teversham, Fulbourn, Great Shelford, Little Shelford and Trumpington.
About the School
The school is currently divided into the Upper School (Years 10-13) and Lower School (Years 7-9) on Queen Edith's Way and at the end of Gunhild Way respectively. However, there are plans to amalgamate the School onto the Upper School site. Recently Netherhall has been awarded Specialist Sports College status allowing access to extra government funding, roughly one million pounds over six years at the time of its status being granted.
Sport
Extra curricular sport forms a valuable part of a student's experience at Netherhall, with a range of teams and clubs available to them. The school offers traditional sports such as rugby, football and netball but does not fail to provide clubs in trampolining, table tennis and triathlon, which are becoming increasingly popular. In recent years Netherhall has had an excellent record in school matches, achieving sporting success at district, county and even national level.
