Strelley Community School is a secondary school located in the Strelley area of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. The school has served local communities near Nottingham and Broxtowe District and has interacted with institutions such as Nottingham Trent University, University of Nottingham, Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Police and regional trusts. Its role touches local organisations including Loxley House, Trent Lane, Mansfield Road, Aspley, Bulwell and national bodies such as the Department for Education (United Kingdom), Ofsted, Advocates for Youth and charities like Barnardo's.
The origins of the school trace to post-war developments in Nottinghamshire when municipal planners from Nottingham City Council and county figures linked to Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield modernization initiatives supported new campuses near A6002. Local educational reforms influenced by reports from the Education Reform Act 1988, The National Curriculum, and assessments by Ofsted shaped the school's trajectory. Engagements with higher education partners such as University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University supported teacher training and site redevelopment proposals echoed in planning applications submitted to Broxtowe Borough Council. Regional collaborations included linkages with Nottinghamshire County Council, community groups like Citizens Advice, and health partners such as Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, with occasional input from MPs representing constituencies in Nottingham North and Nottingham South.
The campus occupies a suburban site proximate to transport corridors including M1 motorway, A610 road, and rail links toward Nottingham station and Bulwell station. Buildings have been refurbished with input from architects connected to projects on Victoria Centre (Nottingham), Nottingham Playhouse renovations, and community hubs similar to Old Meadow Road Community Centre. Sporting facilities support associations affiliated with Nottingham Forest F.C., Notts County F.C., and youth programmes linked to England national youth teams. Library and ICT suites have benefitted from collaborations resembling initiatives by BBC Bitesize, Microsoft Education, and Google for Education, while special educational needs provision has worked with organisations like Scope (charity), Mencap, and local speech and language therapy services aligned with NHS England pathways.

Subject departments have partnered with cultural institutions such as Nottingham Contemporary, Wollaton Hall, Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, and technical partners resembling Siemens, Rolls-Royce plc, and Experian for STEM enrichment. Vocational pathways mirror links to further education providers like Central College Nottingham, Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies, and apprenticeship schemes promoted by City & Guilds and Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. Assessment practices aligned with awarding organisations such as AQA, Edexcel, and OCR guide GCSE preparations and attainment tracking systems used by regional consortia that include schools in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
Extracurricular offerings have included performing arts projects with groups akin to Nottingham Youth Orchestra, drama links to New Theatre Royal productions, and community music partnerships similar to Youth Music.

Governance has involved trustees and governors drawn from local institutions such as Nottingham City Council, representatives with experience at Ofsted, and professionals linked to trusts resembling Ark (charity), The E-ACT Trust, and United Learning. Administrative accountability follows statutory frameworks promulgated by the Department for Education (United Kingdom) and inspection regimes administered by Ofsted. Financial oversight has engaged auditors and advisors with contacts across Nottinghamshire County Council procurement networks and regional education consortia including heads from West Nottinghamshire College and New College Nottingham.
The student population draws from catchment areas spanning Strelley, Aspley, Bulwell, Broxtowe District, Basford, and nearby wards represented in Parliament by MPs from Nottingham North, Broxtowe (UK Parliament constituency), and Nottingham East.
