About Whitemoor Academy (Primary and Nursery)

Whitemoor Academy is a mixed state primary and nursery in Nottingham, currently home to 418 pupils against a capacity of 480, meaning it has some room to grow but is already in strong demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for 29 places, with all 29 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.59.
