Netley Primary School is a state-funded primary school within the Regent's Park Estate area in London, England. It is a community school in the London Borough of Camden (which therefore employs its staff, controls its admissions, owns its buildings etc).
Since 2004, Netley Primary has hosted a centre for autism - called 'Woodlands' - and has a nationally notable programme for teaching children aged 3 to 11 on the autistic spectrum, where children weave in and out of mainstream classes.[1]
The school proposed the sale of a part of its site, at the request of the Leader of Camden Council,[2] but withdrew the proposal after independent advice was given to the Education Secretary that they should not be sold off.[3][4]
Air quality is a major issue in the area surrounding the school, especially due to the presence of High Speed 2's terminus at Euston railway station nearby. The Mayor of London launched a mayor air pollution survey at the school in 2018.[5] It was reported that the school was 'pestered' into buying a 'green shield' to reduce the impact of pollution on children, despite it not making a difference to health.[6]
Netley Primary is a 'young enterprise financial centre of excellence'.[7]
The school has a partnership with Torriano Primary School.
