Work to build a new school at the Rivendell estate off Colwick Loop Road is ‘on track’ and will welcome its first pupils in September 2022.
Building work on the Rivendell Flying High Academy is taking shape with The Flying High Partnership, the multi-academy trust responsible for the school, working in partnership with builders, Persimmon Homes.
The school building is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2022, giving families and children who are successful in securing a place, an opportunity to visit ahead of their first term in September 2022.
Nick Layfield, operations manager at The Flying High Partnership said:“It has been great to see the development of the school taking shape and running to schedule. But to also to have the opportunity to shape the school environment and grounds to ensure they provide an inspirational and creative learning space for children.
“The school is being designed to make children’s experience and education the best it can possibly be, and we are delighted that it is shaping up to be a school filled with inspiration and possibility for its children, -and as a hub for the new community.”
“We want to be able to welcome the community, the families and children who will attend the school, in ahead of their first term to meet staff and to familiarise themselves with the new school. This will allow children to undertake their transmission and induction days in the new building.”
Whilst building work is underway, families will need to go online for information at: rivendellfha.co.uk and on Flying High Partnership Facebook and Twitter.
A series of events are being planned where parents can gather the information they need about the new school.
Mr Layfield added: “We would welcome contact from families wishing to join the school and look forward to the day we can welcome those families into the new school building.”
Rivendell Flying High Academy will fill to 210 pupils as the development grows and in the first year will welcome admission applications for all year groups from Foundation 2 to Year 6, as well as nursery places.
School places can be applied for via Nottinghamshire County Council admissions page at https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/education/school-admissions/apply-for-a-school-place and nursery places from Spring 2022 direct to the school.
