"I was blown away with the amazing work carried out by all at Fernwood Primary and Nursery School... truly inspiring!" "This is a vibrant and joyful school where pupils are happy and safe." A Message from our Executive Headteacher - Ben Waldram A warm welcome to Fernwood Primary and Nursery School.
We are a large and richly-diverse school in the heart of Wollaton in Nottingham. We are exceptionally proud of all our children - they are our number one priority. It is a joy to work with them and see them develop and grow in so many ways. We are a school that nurtures the whole child. Every one of them.
