About Southglade Primary and Nursery School

Southglade Primary and Nursery School sits within the Nottingham local authority, a large urban area with 74 primary schools. In the most recent local rankings, the school placed 42nd, placing it in the bottom half of the city’s primaries. For context, the top-performing local peers include St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Edna G. Olds Academy, and South Wilford Endowed CofE Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the same ranking metric. Southglade’s position reflects a school that serves a community with significant challenges: nearly half of its pupils (49.8%) are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school is also oversubscribed, receiving 77 applications for 37 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 36 of those offers going to first-preference families. This suggests strong local demand, likely driven by its Good Ofsted rating and its role as a neighbourhood primary with nursery provision for children from age three.
