As an Academy, Netherthorpe School is its own Admissions Authority. However, for entry to Year 7 and for In-Year admissions to Years 7–11, we work in partnership with Derbyshire County Council, who initially administer the admissions process on behalf of the school.
Our Simple Application Process
Year 7 Admissions
Netherthorpe School admits 170 students into Year 7 each academic year. Applications for a Year 7 place must be made through Derbyshire County Council’s school admissions system – Derbyshire County Council Admissions.
