I am delighted to welcome you to The Bulwell Academy and honoured to lead the school into its next exciting chapter in Nottingham’s educational landscape. Our mission is clear: to make The Bulwell Academy the school of choice—a place where every student and member of staff feels proud and privileged to belong.

Our core values—Aspire, Work Hard, Be Kind—are at the heart of everything we do. We will consistently encourage and remind our students of these values, helping them to grow into confident, compassionate, and ambitious individuals.

We are building a community where young people understand the importance of academic success alongside personal development. We expect our students to take ownership of their actions and decisions, and to contribute positively to the wider world.

Our vision is to instil a strong sense of optimism, confidence, and self-belief in every student. We want them to believe in themselves, aim high, and excel in all they do—so they can lead happy, successful lives.

A calm and orderly school environment is essential for children to thrive. That’s why we uphold the highest standards in everything we do—from education to pastoral care—without apology.

We are proud to be part of the Creative Education Trust, working collaboratively with other schools to share best practice and enhance the local educational offer. This partnership brings exciting opportunities for our students, including character-building experiences, competitions, and activities that broaden horizons.

Strong relationships with parents and carers are vital to our success. Bulwell Academy is a school in the community, for the community, and at the heart of the community.

If you would like to visit The Bulwell Academy or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch via enquiries@bulwellacademy.org.uk.
