Welcome to St Nicholas Church of England Primary School family where our Christian Ethos and Christian Vision is at the heart of everything we do. At St. Nicholas, we have a duty to develop all our pupils in the image of Christ. All learners are provided with opportunities to meet their full spiritual and academic potential.
Through access to a broad and ambitious curriculum, we will prepare our pupils for the next steps of their life journey. We have lovely bright classrooms and beautiful school grounds that inspire a Love of God, Learning and Life.'
We are fortunate to have extensive outdoor spaces which provide unrivalled opportunities to develop a healthy, active lifestyle and to develop an understanding of environmental awareness. Our extensive playing field contains a forest school and outdoor classroom where lots of exciting learning takes place.
We also have a purpose built Multi Activity Games Area which children access during PE lessons; before and after school clubs; and at lunchtime. Our dedicated team of friendly staff work hard to make sure each child flourishes, both academically and socially, ensuring they are ready for the next stage of their education.
