Welcome to Haddon Primary and Nursery School

A very warm welcome to Haddon!

We are proud to be an inclusive school where everyone is welcomed, supported, and treated with respect. At Haddon, we ensure that every child feels happy, safe, and valued, and we work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment where all can thrive.

Though we may appear small from the outside, inside you’ll find a vibrant, modern learning space filled with joy, ambition, and opportunity. Our children are polite, curious, and eager to learn, and our dedicated staff go above and beyond to support each child’s unique journey.

Our Haddoners lie at the heart of everything we do.

We foster a culture of high expectations, where respectful relationships, enjoyment in learning, and determination are central to our ethos. Our team takes great pride in knowing every child and family, helping our pupils grow into confident, aspirational, independent learners who dream big, aim high, and make lasting memories.

Our curriculum is knowledge-rich and inclusive, with a strong focus on English and Mathematics and reading at its core. We celebrate the uniqueness of every child, providing opportunities for them to explore their strengths and interests. Our personal development curriculum is supported by excellent pastoral care, and we celebrate effort and achievement in all areas of school life.

As a proud member of the Flying High Trust, we benefit from being part of a high-performing network of over thirty schools across Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City, and Derbyshire. Together, we strive to provide the very best education and to be among the best schools in the universe.

We believe in strong partnerships between home and school. Parents are key partners in their children’s education, and we work closely with families to ensure every child thrives.
