St Nicholas' School

Welcome to our new website! We hope you enjoy browsing through these pages to get a sense of our wonderful school and keep up-to-date with school activities.

Our new school building opened in 2009. We have a modern fully equipped school which includes a Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy, Home Economics, Woodwork and sensory rooms.

Inside the building is welcoming and bright. The classrooms are large and spacious and are well equipped. We have a modern fully equipped kitchen and employ a cook. Our pupils enjoy dinner at school each day. The majority of our pupils travel to school by bus, supported by our bus escort staff. We are most fortunate to have an outdoor canopy area which provides our pupils with access to the outdoors, despite the rain! We have plans to upgrade our sensory garden and add additional equipment to our playground.
