Cantrell is a Primary school. It is situated in the district of Bulwell near the edge of the City of Nottingham. It caters for pupils between the ages of three and eleven.

The Foundation Classes accommodate children between the ages of three and five years old. There is a Key Stage 1 Department for children aged between five and seven years. KS2 children remain at Cantrell until they are eleven years old. The children then transfer to a number of different secondary schools at the end of year six.

At Cantrell we provide a disciplined and stimulating environment for all children to learn and succeed. We all believe that the staff, parents and Governors should work together to make children’s learning experience happy, successful and exciting.

Our Values and Ethos

We aim to provide all our pupils with a structured and disciplined framework - one where success is celebrated and challenges are set and met and where children are encouraged to explore opportunities creatively.

We aim to continually improve standards of teaching and learning focusing upon literacy, numeracy, and scientific investigation and developing pupils' ability to use ICT tools effectively.

We aim to provide innovative, creative and challenging teaching.

We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that provides variety and equal opportunity for all pupils, allowing individuals to develop progressively and at their own rate.   

We aim to provide planned educational opportunities that teach pupils about responsible behaviour in order that they will mature into people who will make valuable contributions to our diverse and multicultural world and the environment we are to live in. 

We aim to involve parents and community in the daily life of the school to achieve common goals through partnership.

We aim to offer all staff and others involved with school the opportunity to continually develop their own skills, knowledge and understanding in order to meet both the school and their own needs
