Education - General Enquiries
Education is the key to our future and certainly one of the City Council’s most significant responsibilities. Nottingham’s Children’s Services Department looks after 120 schools across its city boundaries. In addition to this there are 7 Education Bases / Pupil Referral Units.
Our over-arching aim is to drive up educational expectations and standards, not just for children in our schools and their families, but also throughout the community.

Children can’t learn if they aren’t in class. The Education Welfare team are there to encourage pupils to attend school regularly and to help schools ensure that pupils arrive on time and every day.
The Education Welfare Service can offer support for children in need, including those experiencing educational, emotional and social difficulties, referring them to the appropriate services where necessary.

Elective Home Education (Home Schooling)
Elective Home Education is where you as a parent or carer can decide to teach your child at home. The education of your child is a great responsibility which Nottingham City LA takes very seriously.
Throughout the City of Nottingham there are over 120 schools catering for pupils with a wide range of needs and different abilities which we are very proud of.
It is the legal duty of all parents and carers to ensure that their child is included in appropriate full-time education. The majority of parents and carers in Nottingham City do this by ensuring that their child attends one of their local schools. However, for a number of different reasons a small number of parents decide to educate their children at home.
Energy in the Home
The Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA) was passed to ensure that local authorities promote energy efficiency measures to their residents.
The Housing Energy Team has been established to promote, implement and monitor energy efficiency improvements to Council owned homes and other residents of Nottingham whether they are home owners or people who rent privately.
Nottingham is currently on course to meet the target set by HECA of a 30% reduction in 15 years (between 1996 and 2011), having reduced it’s domestic energy consumption as a City by 17.8% circa December 2004.
Grants, subsidies and special schemes are available covering a wide range measures such as cavity wall, solid wall and loft insulation, super efficient boilers and solar measures.
There are also free low energy lightbulbs available to anyone receiving a benefit and for many households receiving a Tax Credit. Call the number below to see if you qualify. Energy-efficient measures particularly insulation and boilers can significantly reduce gas and electricity bills.
Enviro Crime
Litter, graffiti, fly-posting, empty and derelict buildings are among some of the biggest concerns for city residents. Report these to the Environmental Crime Team.
The overall aims of the team are to take appropriate action to remove the environmental eyesores that damage the City’s appearance. To do this the team work closely with Neighbourhood Services and the Neighbourhood Wardens
As part of their enforcement activity they utilise covert surveillance equipment at identified ’hot spots’ in their attempts to catch perpetrators of environmental crimes.
