Welcome to the Welbeck Meadows project, a visionary project dedicated to transforming education and community development in the Meadows, Nottingham. As an expansion of the "Outstanding" rated Welbeck Primary, we are creating an "all-through" school that will provide seamless, high-quality education from age 2 to 16 and beyond.
Welbeck Meadows plans to have tremendous benefits to the Nottingham area and address critical local needs by offering unparalleled educational opportunities, fostering economic growth, and building a stronger, more skilled community. Learn how you can be a part of this inspiring movement and contribute to a brighter future for thousands of children in Nottingham.

How we will deliver Welbeck Meadows
Browse our plan for more information about how we'll bring about the much needed transformation to the Meadows, Nottingham.
Welbeck Primary School, Nottingham’s top-performing school in 2025, is expanding to become an all-through school for ages 2–16. With no local secondary school, children currently face long commutes and uncertainty after Year 6 at age 11. Welbeck Meadows will provide a continuous, personalised learning journey in the heart of the community, supporting academic, social, and emotional growth, while preparing students for future careers.
Key Highlights:
The Meadows faces a critical gap in education: no local secondary school forces young people to travel long distances, disrupting friendships and well-being. With a higher proportion of children aged 0–17 than the Nottingham and East Midlands averages, limited educational facilities put local youth at risk of exclusion from essential opportunities.
Economically, the area experiences high unemployment, low attainment at age 16, and fewer apprenticeships, with many residents in low-skilled roles. Welbeck Meadows aims to change this by offering continuous, high-quality education and vocational pathways, equipping students with the skills needed for better jobs and stronger futures.
Why Welbeck Meadows Matters:
Welbeck Meadows will extend Welbeck Primary’s success into secondary and post-16 education, all within The Meadows. Working with Wolfgang Buttress Studio, the project integrates creative vision into the arts curriculum and school design, including architecture, interiors, branding, and landscaping.
The plan transforms the existing Kinglake Place site into a state-of-the-art all-through school with enhanced facilities for teaching, performance, dance, dining, and social spaces. Each year group will remain small (max 75 pupils) to ensure personalised learning, including 30 new Year 7 places for local children.
