Good Shepherd Primary Catholic Academy

The Good Shepherd is a lively and vibrant school located in the leafy suburb of Woodthorpe, just four miles from Nottingham City Centre and with excellent public transport links to nearby Arnold and Sherwood.  

We are an Ofsted Good School and are delighted to be classed as Outstanding in our latest Diocesan Canonical inspection.

Our school is part of the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust which brings together the 36 Catholic Primary and Secondary schools in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire. Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic Education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team and opportunities for high quality Continuing Professional Development offered by the CMAT’s teaching school, The Nottingham Initial Teacher Training Hub.

Our Lady of Lourdes is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  If successful, you will undertake pre-employment checks which will include a Disclosure and Baring Service check.
