We are proud to be a rural primary school who serve the community of Flintham and the surrounding villages. As we are a small school, there is a warm, friendly, family feeling to the school.
All the staff and children take care of one another to create a safe and happy environment where everyone is respected and valued and where everyone can develop an appreciation of the cultures and beliefs of others in our school community and beyond.
Our grounds are extensive and contain a wildlife pond, adventure trail, climbing frame, all weather area, playing field, vegetable garden and a quiet millennium garden. Flintham is one of seventeen schools who are part of Equals Trust Academy. The school takes children from 3 (Early Years) to 11 years old (Year 6).
The admission of 3 year olds into the Early Years is organised through the school. The admission of school aged children is organised through Nottinghamshire County Council to ensure there is a fair and equal process for all children who wish to attend their local school.
