Welcome to St Ann’s Well Academy and we thank you for taking in an interest in our school.

“St Ann’s Well Academy is a nurturing and inclusive school. It has high aspirations for all.” Ofsted 2024

We are a happy, nurturing, and ambitious one-form entry primary school located in the heart of Nottingham. We are extremely proud of our school – the warm and inclusive environment we’ve created for pupils, staff, parents and visitors – and the vibrant community we serve.

At St Ann’s Well Academy, we believe that every child can succeed, and we are committed to providing the right conditions to ensure that they do. We take the time to know each child as an individual, recognising their uniqueness and creating a place where every child feels safe, valued, heard and respected—because everyone matters.

We offer a high-quality education that supports both academic and personal growth. We place a strong emphasis on the core skills of English and mathematics, which we see as the foundation for future learning and success. By prioritising oracy, phonics, and transcription skills, we enable our pupils to become confident writers. Our curriculum is thoughtfully planned and aspirational, carefully developing the knowledge, skills, and disciplinary understanding unique to each subject area.

Our teaching is driven by high expectations, deep knowledge of our learners and a commitment to maximising progress for children of all abilities and backgrounds.

Equally important is our focus on developing good character and citizenship. Through our school values—responsibility, self-belief, kindness, honesty, positivity and respect—we support children in becoming thoughtful, active citizens of the future. We aim to raise aspirations and empower our pupils to make meaningful contributions to their local and wider communities.

At St Ann’s Well Academy, we believe that partnership is key. Parents, staff, governors, and pupils all play an important role in ensuring our school continues to thrive. Together, we strive to make our school a happy, exciting, and successful place to learn.

We are proud to be part of the LEAD Academy Trust and work closely with our partner schools to continually improve and ensure our children receive the best possible education and care.

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you a sense of what makes our school so special.
