Welcome to our school

We are a diverse and friendly school, catering for 420 children in main school, with a 39 place nursery unit. The school serves the town of Arnold, which is 5 miles north of Nottingham.

The school was built in the 1950’s and named after Richard Parkes Bonington, a locally born artist. It occupies a large, attractive site with extensive grounds and facilities. We are very proud to have recently opened a new £1.5m foundation unit, equipped with the latest technology.

Our school prides itself on it's friendly and caring atmosphere. Our aim is for our children to be happy, confident, motivated and independent learners and we support them in every way to be the best they can be. We want our children to have high aspirations and discover new talents.
