About primary education in Nottingham

Nottingham is home to 115 primary schools, and primary staffing here has its own rhythm. Schools plan ahead for PPA and training days, so alongside day-to-day cover there is a steady stream of pre-booked work. Together, Nottingham's schools and nurseries educate around 72,000 children, and that scale keeps primary cover requests coming in every week of term.

Expect to follow the school behaviour policy, adapt planning on the spot and hand over accurate notes at the end of the day. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including City Centre, West Bridgford and Arnold, so you can filter for primary schools within a comfortable commute.

Day-to-day cover frequently leads to long-term maternity or sickness placements with the same school. Because our consultants are based in the Midlands, we can match you to settings that fit your travel, experience and preferred age range rather than filling any gap that appears.

Nottingham has over 310 schools and nurseries serving approximately 72,000 children. The city and its surrounding areas — including West Bridgford, Arnold, Beeston and Bulwell — have a strong education sector with a mix of state, academy and independent provision.

Nottingham's schools are known for their community focus, and the city has invested in education as a driver of social mobility. Supply educators in Nottingham find a welcoming and professionally rewarding environment.
