A true school community where everyone is welcome and ‘everyone matters’, we set out to ensure that every child entrusted to our care is made to feel welcome and that their time here is a happy and successful one.

Students are expected and encouraged to always give their best, work hard at all times and demonstrate the highest standards of courtesy, behaviour and dress so they are excellent ambassadors for our school community.

Every year, we welcome Catholic students from our partner primary schools alongside many children from non-Catholic families. Over the last few years, all families who put St Nicholas as their first or second choice and wished their child to join in September were able to do so.

Northwich Guardian:

The team of dedicated staff at St Nicholas are fully committed to providing students with every possible opportunity to become the very best person they can possibly be – to use their gifts and talents to develop their learning and realise their potential, to explore new hobbies and interests, to serve others through charitable works and to understand their place in the wider world as stewards of creation and leaders of the future.

We also offer comprehensive enrichment and co-curricular opportunities for students across all year groups, which look to deepen and enhance the vibrant curriculum and learning pupils experience within the classroom.

Whatever your interest, there is always something to do at lunchtime or after school with so many clubs, groups and activities on offer. Residential trips are always popular with students including our annual ski trip, with visits to such places as France, Spain, Iceland, Lourdes and Borneo to mention but a few!

Our residential retreats, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, mock trials, choir and band tours complement year group activity days and reward experiences which all serve to support your child’s experience here at St Nicholas.

St Nicholas also has a rich heritage and history of sporting excellence and inclusion – we are one of only 1% of all secondary schools in the country to be awarded the prestigious Sportsmark Platinum Award, which recognises the fantastic opportunities that students are offered at our school.

Visitors regularly comment on the friendly, orderly and purposeful atmosphere within our school. Our Mission statement lays down the values and principles that are the foundation of this community and we try hard to live up to these ideals.

We are a community of exceptional staff and outstanding students with high expectations and ambitions for every child in our care. We are all extremely proud of our school and I hope that you can join us for our open evening on September 29 to see for yourselves what makes St Nicholas such a special school community.
