Silver Linings School

Nottingham, Nottingham, East Midlands · NG8 4FR

With just 12 pupils on roll, Silver Linings School is a notably small independent school in Nottingham. A setting of this size offers something unusual: an environment where each child is genuinely known and class numbers stay tiny. Co-educational and non-boarding, it is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Families drawn to highly individual attention rather than the scale and breadth of a larger school may find it worth a closer look.
