About this school
Ash Lea Academy is a special academy in Cotgrave. It teaches children aged 3 to 18.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Ash Lea Academy under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Ash Lea Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Ash Lea School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Ash Lea School (closed August 2026)
