Overview
Overview
Confirma Domine Serviendo, translated as 'Strengthen us Lord by our service', gives St Nicholas' School a clear thread from its 1935 foundation to daily life today. Two teachers began the community, which moved to Redfields House in 1996 and now brings Nursery, Infant, Junior and Senior phases together across more than 30 acres of grounds and woodland.
Girls can attend from age 3 to 16, while boys join the co-educational Nursery and Infant School from age 3 to 7. Sport, music, art and drama sit beside academic work, and the THRIVE values of togetherness, hard work, resilience, independence, valuing others and excellence turn the service motto into a practical account of community life.
Years 7 to 11 follow a broad curriculum. GCSE choices include English, mathematics, separate or combined science and a modern language, with options such as computer science, classics, drama, geography, history, Latin, Mandarin, music, PE, textiles and food preparation. Drop-in clinics and curriculum support offer small-group or individual help with subject knowledge, literacy, language, mathematics and examination skills.
Rolling admissions allow visits and taster opportunities across the age range. Year 7 applicants complete a CEM assessment in verbal, non-verbal and numerical ability, creative writing and an informal discussion; higher-year applicants take mathematics and English writing assessments. Year 7 scholarships cover academic, art and textiles, drama, music and sport, subject to the admissions assessment.
