Admissions

Every day is an open day at St Nicholas School

 

If you would like to visit and enquire about a place for your child, please contact the school office on 01761 432101 to make an appointment.

 

 The school year starts in September. It is recommended that, whenever possible, parents apply for a place for their child within the standard timescale, making St Nicholas Church School their first choice, in order to optimise their chances of getting a place for their child. 

 

Parents are of course welcome to apply for a place at other points in the school year; for example, if the family is moving into the area. In that case, it is recommended that parents enquire at the school and not the Local Authority about any places that may be available.
