The Academy of St Nicholas

The Academy of St Nicholas is a joint Catholic / Church of England Academy offering secondary education to students aged 11 – 18.  Our specialism is Enterprise and Business supported by a secondary specialism of Language for Business.

At The Academy of St Nicholas we realise that every student is different. Everybody has their own talents and interests and, as an Academy, our purpose is to ensure that all our students discover, explore and reach their full potential. It is our intention that The Academy of St Nicholas becomes one of the leading Academies in the country. Working in partnership with our sponsors and other educational organisations we will ensure that we remain at the cutting edge of learning and bring maximum benefits to all our current and future students
 

As a centre of learning, the Academy dedicates itself to ensuring that:
