About Haddon Primary and Nursery School

Haddon Primary and Nursery School sits within Nottinghamshire’s Gedling borough, a local authority where primary provision is plentiful but competition for places can be stiff. Among the 286 state primary schools in the county, Haddon ranks 91st, placing it comfortably in the top third. The school’s ranking score of 66 puts it some way behind the LA’s top performers — John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy and Bunny CofE Primary School all score above 90 — but it still holds its own in a crowded field. For families looking closer to home, the nearest Outstanding-rated school is The Good Shepherd Catholic Primary in Arnold, about 2.5 kilometres away. Haddon itself is rated Good by Ofsted, a rating it has held across its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and an ungraded visit in 2025, where inspectors confirmed standards were being maintained. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, 82 families applied for 30 places, with 27 of those coming from first-preference applicants.
