Bramcote

Bramcote (/ˈbræmkt/, locally /ˈbræmkət/) is a suburban village and former civil parish in the Broxtowe district of Nottinghamshire, England, between Stapleford and Beeston. It is in the parliamentary constituency of Broxtowe. The main Nottingham–Derby road today is the A52, Brian Clough Way. Nearby are Beeston, Wollaton, Chilwell and Stapleford. One of the main roads between Nottingham and Derby used to pass through the village centre, entering a cutting that formed a blind bend. A country house to the north of the village became publicly owned and was demolished in 1968. Its grounds became a public area of park and hillside, now known as Bramcote Hills Park.

The population of Bramcote is 9,270 with a household average of 2.3. The Broxtowe Ward population measured at the Census 2011 showed a population of 7,270.

The proportion of residents identifying as White British is 82.7 per cent, with 17.3 per cent originating from 41 other countries, notably India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Jamaica, Barbados, Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Russia and Australia.[citation needed] In religion, 60.7 per cent of Bramcote people see themselves as Christian, 3.6 per cent as Muslim, 2.8 per cent as Hindu and 2.5 per cent as Sikhs, while 22.6 per cent adhere to no religion.

There are four local schools:

St John's College, Nottingham, which closed in 2019, was a Church of England theological college situated on the southern edge of Bramcote.

A second comprehensive school, Bramcote Hills Sport & Community College, was found unsafe and demolished. Its pupil were moved to the nearby Bramcote Park and Alderman White schools. The building was replaced by Bramcote Hills College Sixth Form. In 2009, this, Bramcote Park Sports, Business & Enterprise School and Alderman White School joined to form White Hills Park Federation of Schools. Year 10 and 11 students can travel between the sites in a school minibus.

Bramcote Leisure Centre in Bramcote Park, off the A52, has a pool with a water slide divided into a 25-metre pool and family splash pool, a teaching pool, a gym, a junior gym, a five-a-side pitch with a local team, the Bramcote Beers, a health suite and a crèche. It gained Quest Accreditation in March 2008 and the Aquamark ASA National Award Scheme for swimming programme quality, in November 2008. The Vitality fitness suite has recently had a £250,000 renovation, refurbishment and extension. The poolside changing rooms have also been updated.
