About Netherton Infant and Nursery School

Netherton Infant and Nursery School serves children from age three to seven in Kirklees, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains a Good school, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision all scored 2 (Good) in the most recent graded inspection, with behaviour and attitudes also judged Good. This places it in a solid position locally, though it is worth noting that only eight of the 144 primary schools in Kirklees are rated Outstanding, and the nearest one, Brockholes Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior and Infant School, is 3.3 kilometres away. For a school that takes children from nursery through to Year 2, Netherton’s consistency is a reassuring sign for parents looking for a stable start to their child’s education.
