Our JOURNEY St Nicholas School is an independent all-through day school for girls aged 3 16 and boys aged 3 7 years. Founded by two teachers, Helen Pritchard and Angela McKenzie in 1935, St Nicholas School has empowered young minds and continued to fulfil a dream founded on a faith that has weathered all things, for the education and training of young people.
During this time, the school has experienced a journey of remarkable growth and vitality. St Nicholas School was first located in Branksomewood Road, Fleet and spent 60 years there, with innumerable children passing through its classrooms on their way to success in many professions.
Their years were happy and productive ones, producing confident young people, fazed by very little and enthusiastic to meet any challenge in the outside world. With the outbreak of war in 1939 and being so near to the Army barracks in Aldershot, the school supplied a safe and caring place while parents were moved between barracks across the country.
The atmosphere of community within the school produced a sense of confidence and respect, as well as concern for others, which has not changed to this day.
