'Laying firm foundations to believe and achieve' (Matthew 7 24-25)

St Nicholas CoE Primary School aims to provide all of its pupils with the best opportunities possible within a secure and happy environment. 

We are all part of one nurturing family, passionate about ensuring that all children are courageous and reach their potential, whatever their starting point. We are a welcoming and inclusive school and aims to ensure that all members of the St Nicholas’ “family” have a positive and fulfilling experience at primary school.   

There is a strong focus on inclusion, kindness and respect for all. Our staff ensure that all children are able to access the curriculum and are provided with the scaffolding needed to fully participate in school life. Teachers are supported in identifying difficulties early and developing strategies to support children in all areas of their learning. 

We foster an “I can” ethos, believing that with the support and ensuring the foundations and basic skills are in place, the children will stand firm through the storms they face and enjoy great paths of opportunity ahead of them. 

We have a supportive Governing body who are regularly seen in school and join classes on trips and for lessons. Our staff and Governors continually seek the views of pupils, parents, carers and visitors to our school. 

Our core values are: Respect, Honesty, Courage and Kindness.
