Welcome to St Nicolas Church of England School. We are a friendly, welcoming and happy school; situated on the green in the village of Taplow in Buckinghamshire. At St Nics, we are proud to have built a strong community. Our staff are a talented and dedicated team; we communicate well and support each other.
Teachers, teaching assistants, lunchtime supervisors, play leaders, office staff and senior leaders work together to support every child in the school. Whatever their circumstance or need, your child is a St Nics child and our children are at the heart of everything we do.
Together we strive to be a centre of excellence which serves our local community, focusing on the Christian values of respect, love and friendship, honesty, courage, thankfulness and peace which permeate through every aspect of school life.
We build strong links between the school, families and parish, promoting the spiritual and moral development of all in the school community. We nurture each individual, giving them the encouragement and opportunities to be the best that we can be.
