Bramcote College is an 11-18 academy situated down a quiet lane amongst the woodland surroundings of Bramcote Hills Park.  There have been schools on our estate since 1948, under different names throughout the years, allowing thousands of local children to have a rich education with us. 

We want the best for all our students and have the highest expectations. Although we recognise how important academic performance is, Bramcote College is about much more than exam success. We develop our young people as people and place a high value on enrichment and provision of learning opportunities that inspire our students both inside and outside the classroom. More information is available on our website.

The size of our estate allowed us to sell unused fields to fund a complete rebuild of Bramcote College, with the appointed contractor (Morgan Sindall) starting on-site in Autumn 2026 with the new build scheduled to be handed over for at Easter 2028. The plans for the new build can be seen on our website here: https://bramcote.college/news-events/bramcote-college-s-new-build 

The White Hills Park Trust comprises nine successful schools across Nottinghamshire, six primary, two secondary (with Bramcote College hosting our mainstream sixth form provision) and one 3 – 19 special school.   It’s an exciting time as the Trust is embarking on a period of steady growth with further schools joining us soon.  We are committed to supporting the wellbeing and career aspirations of our staff team.

Our partnership of schools is united by shared ethos and values, working in deep collaboration to give all of our children the best possible start in life. Our mission is to provide the very best opportunities and outcomes for young people.  Our staff work closely together to deliver high quality teaching and learning, share good practice, pool resources and participate in joint projects for the benefit of pupils.
