Netherhall Learning Campus Junior School
About Netherhall Learning Campus Junior School
Netherhall Learning Campus Junior School is a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in the Kirklees local authority, where it ranks 88th out of 94 similar schools. That places it in the bottom half of the LA table, well behind the top-performing local peers: Carlton Junior and Infant School, Netherthong Primary School, and St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School. The school is led by headteacher Zoe Lowe and has a non-religious character. Of its 283 pupils, 59.4 per cent are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a key part of the school's context. The school has capacity for 360 pupils, so there is some room to grow. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in September 2023, rated it Good overall, with Good marks across all five categories including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That rating has been consistent since at least its previous inspection in 2013, which also awarded a Good.
