Walter Halls Primary and Nursery School is situated on the border between Mapperley and St Anns.

Our Head Teacher is Mr. Pete Strauss.

Our school is set in beautiful grounds. We have 11 classes and a Foundation Stage Unit which combines Nursery and Reception.

We have a large basement area which is used by the school during the day and the After School Club between 3.15-5.30 p.m.

Our school is named after Walter Halls. This picture hangs in our school office. He was born in 1870 and died in 1953 when he was 83. He was the son of a poor farm worker and one of a family of 10. From aged 10-14 he worked as a ploughboy and was hired out for £5 a year. At 18 he worked in a goods yard and was a porter for 20 years. He had 8 children all on the wage of a labourer.

Walter moved to Nottingham in 1913. He began to serve on local authorities. He was made Chairman of the City Education Committee from 1934. From 1937-1938 he was Sheriff of Nottingham and in 1938 he was made Lord Mayor.

Our school was opened in 1939.
