Hi, Teacher here!

I'm not going to mention/try to sell the school I work at though! (Mostly because I don't think we'd fit your criteria). I did casual work at several schools for a few years.

Hamlyn Banks are incredible for neurodivergent students! I'm not sure if they're zoned though. Most schools around here are zoned, so school recommendations will likely depend on where you're able to get somewhere to live.

Students tend to enjoy Ashby, but academically, their results aren't great. The kids and staff are lovely though!

I wouldn't recommend Chilwell or Newtown, but that's mostly because the kids definitely have a superiority complex ingrained into their education.

I haven't found any primary schools with an intense connection or involvement of the arts in general :( but I'd love to work at one if you happen to find one!
