About the School:
Windmill L.E.A.D. Academy is a vibrant and inclusive primary school located in Sneinton, Nottingham. We are proud of our richly diverse community - over 40 languages are spoken in our school, making it a true celebration of cultures, perspectives, and global learning.
Our pupils are curious, compassionate, and eager to learn, supported by families who deeply value education. We deliver a well-structured and engaging curriculum that is both relevant and inspiring, carefully designed to reflect the needs and interests of our children.
At Windmill, conduct and behaviour is underpinned by the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and our comprehensive mental health and well-being curriculum ensures our pupils have the emotional tools they need to thrive in today’s world.
Enrichment is a key part of life at Windmill. We create meaningful opportunities for children, parents, and the wider community to come together and celebrate learning and culture - whether it's through curriculum-linked projects, community events, or joyful experiences like our annual Holi Colour Throw.
Visitors frequently remark on our welcoming atmosphere, where warmth, respect, and a strong sense of community are evident throughout the school. We are proud of our collaborative and dedicated staff team, who work closely together to put children at the heart of everything we do.
We are committed to ensuring every child achieves their full potential and enjoys a broad, enriched curriculum that prepares them not only for academic success but for life beyond the classroom.
