Rufford Primary & Nursery School is a two form entry, maintained primary school situated in Bulwell, a small town just outside Nottingham. Rufford Infant and Junior Schools were built in the 1970s on the site, which was previously an old sandstone quarry. In 2011, the schools amalgamated
to become Rufford Primary & Nursery School. The building is a flat roofed ‘clasp’ style. Classrooms in each key stage open out onto a shared central area. There is a separate building opposite the school entrance which houses the Nursery/F1 and Reception/F2 classes. The school’s outside space is not extensive but has been recently developed and includes two playgrounds, grassed areas, woodland space, a banked area with natural obstacles, ponds and areas set aside for den building/outdoor learning.
