St Nicholas is a Church of England Primary School with 560 children (R-Y6) in a pleasant, Thames-side village with easy access to London etc. We have received Investors in People accreditation (silver award), DFES Awards for Achievement (twice), Activemark Gold, Healthy Schools, Education Extra Certificate of Distinction and Eco Schools 'Green Flag'.Our good facilities include an ICT suite, two games fields and very large nature reserve. We balance high standards in core subjects with a real commitment to educating the whole person - as seen in visits and residential trips, cookery, art work, choir and orchestra, drama productions, wide range of clubs and many sporting successes.

St Nicholas School was founded in 1833 by William Russell, Rector of Shepperton. The Christian belief in the unique worth and potential of each individual continues to inspire our work. The school's mission is to help every child to fulfil the gifts that are within him or her. Christianity also emphasises the absolute importance of other people, and the school aims to develop the children's sense of community to the fullest extent. St Nicholas Church is committed to support the school in the realisation of its vision.

St Nicholas is fortunate to have an extensive site. The indoor and outdoor space has been sensitively designed to nurture the children’s individual developmental needs and their range of interests.

In addition to on-site provision, there is a second playing field and huge conservation area 'Funky Footprints', accessed from the back of the school field.

During playtimes, spaces are zoned allowing children to make choices about the kind of activity they wish to take part in. At other times, indoor and outdoor facilities are shared across the year groups to fully utilise the space.

Our children are consequently happy at school, achieve well and leave St Nicholas as confident, respectful and well-rounded young people.
