A new primary school on track to open in time for the start of the next academic year will accept pupils from all across Nottinghamshire. Rivendell Flying High Academy is the nursery and primary school that will open at the site of the Rivendell housing development off the A612 Colwick Loop Road, between Netherfield and Stoke Bardolph, near the Victoria Retail Park.
More than 800 homes will be built there once work on the vast new neighbourhood is complete, and a primary school and nursery is being constructed to meet expected demand. There are wider plans for a new Aldi supermarket nearby.
The brand new academy will open in September 2022 and have a total of 210 places, with places in year groups from Foundation 2 up to Year 6 to soon become available, along with nursery places. Keys will be handed over to the trust behind the academy once work is complete in the next few weeks, which is when potential pupils and parents will be invited to express interest or learn more about the school.
