Cancelled projects
Waterside Primary Academy
Waterside Primary Academy was a planned Free School with academy status located in the city of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire, England. Plans for the school were announced in 2020, with planning permission approved in 2023.[5][6] It was planned to have capacity for 210 children, with a capacity for 30 nursery aged children.[7] Waterside Primary Academy was built at a total cost of £11.5 million.[8]
Waterside Primary Academy was planned to open in September 2024, but this date was missed and the opening date was delayed until the following year.[9] Funding for Waterside Primary Academy from the department for Education was pulled in December 2024 due to the low number of applications for places at the school.[7]
In January 2025 it was announced that Greenwood Academies Trust had dropped plans to open Waterside Primary Academy.[7] In March 2025 it was announced that former school buildings would be used to expand Rosehill specialist School, with a planned opening date for the expanded specialist school of 2026.[10]
