Dereham Neatherd High School is a popular and successful school in the heart of the community of Dereham and its surrounding villages.
We have a tradition of high standards of achievement with a commitment to excellence in learning.
We provide a wide range of learning activities to enrich the curriculum and believe that every child is an individual and should be given opportunities to excel and succeed.
We set high targets and expect the best from all students and the staff who work with them. Visitors to the school always comment on the calm, orderly atmosphere where there is a real focus on learning.
We have strong links with our partner primary schools in the Dereham area where we support Languages teaching as part of our Specialist School outreach programme. We are part of the Dereham, Easton and Litcham Federation, providing opportunities for 14-19 education in colloboration with other institutions.
