Our motto is ‘Learning Together’ as we feel  this  sums up our approach to helping our special pupils to achieve their full potential regardless of ability or needs.

St Nicholas caters for pupils with a wide range of special educational needs in the wonderfully diverse borough of Croydon, and we pride ourselves on being a popular choice with parents who want their child to develop intellectually, physically, aesthetically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.

We strive to work together with parents and the wider community to develop happy, healthy pupils who place a high value on learning and achieving.
