About Netherthong Primary School

Netherthong Primary School sits within the Kirklees local authority, where it ranks second out of 94 primary schools — a position that places it firmly among the top performers in the area. Its nearest high-achieving peers include Carlton Junior and Infant School, St Peter's Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior, Infant and Early Years School, and Lydgate Junior and Infant School, all of which appear in the local top tier alongside Netherthong. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. Matthew Bradbury is the headteacher, and the school currently operates at full capacity with 218 pupils. Just 8.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably below the national average. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, though several individual areas — including early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes — were judged Outstanding.
