Head's Message
The founding principles of Nottingham Free School were quality and equality for every learner, and these remain at the heart of everything that we do. We work in partnership with parents and carers so that we can ensure that every student in our diverse and vibrant school community receives the education that they deserve.
Our dedicated team of staff are committed to helping all learners to achieve ambitious academic credentials that will afford them choice in their future endeavours. We are highly ambitious for all our students and pride ourselves on the strong outcomes they achieve. Our pursuit of excellence for every member of our school community is unwavering.
We have a strong emphasis on helping our students develop the depth and strength of character needed to succeed and thrive in an ever-changing world. Our core values of ‘Work Hard, Be Kind’, underpinned by our ethos of excellence, translate into a successful and caring school where everyone is valued, and academic and personal growth is celebrated.
Most importantly, as a member of Nottingham Free School, your child will receive the care and support they need to have a happy and successful secondary school experience.
