The vision of St Nicholas Catholic High School is to transform the lives of children and our wider community, through inspirational education.  

We recognise that in addition to providing outstanding daily learning experiences in their lessons, we must also provide a comprehensive and well-structured programme of additional learning and personal development opportunities to build the ‘cultural capital’ of our students. Our pastoral curriculum complements the academic curriculum.  

Every element of the way in which our school operates is informed by our desire to support our students to achieve their full potential both during their time at St Nicholas Catholic High School and for the rest of their lives.
