Welcome to Norton St Nicholas C of E (VA) Primary School. We hope this website gives you a taster of our school, as well as providing up-to-date information for parents, pupils and the wider community. Norton St Nicholas School has served its local community for over 150 years.
Located on the North-East edge of Letchworth, the school has grown so it now has one class for each year group from Nursery through to Year 6, whilst still retaining the community feel of a village school.
Everything we do as a school is focussed on fulfilling our vision: Guided by God's love, we educate and nurture each unique child, inspiring them to reach their full potential, and enabling them to flourish as caring and successful citizens who make a difference in their communities.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
