Here at St Nicholas, we believe that education is not just limited to the academic – the aim of an excellent school is to nurture children to become responsible, dynamic young people who can achieve academically and have the skills that can be used in the workplace maintaining the Catholic ethos, that is so important here at our school, in their future lives as adult Christians.
In addition to the many academic lessons and activities, we have a number of inclusive enrichment programmes that everyone can participate in. St Nicholas enjoys a rich and vibrant extra-curricular programme which plays a vital role in building confidence and deepening personalities. These range from sporting clubs and fixtures through to our Mock Trial visits and the School Choir.
We also provide many opportunities for residential and day visits. Year 7 start with a stay at Whitmore Lake in January. Other trips include rewards trips to Chester Zoo, Cinema and Bowling, Blackpool and Alton Towers as well as retreats to Soli and Savio Houses, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, the ski trip to Italy and our Sixth Form expeditions to places such as Borneo, Cambodia and Vietnam. Here at St Nicholas, the world really is your oyster!
