Welcome to Northfield St Nicholas 
We are a very hard working and friendly team who absolutely want the very best educational experience for the children in our care. We have effective teachers who are committed to ensuring and providing high quality learning experiences which enable the children to be reflective learners. Every day, the highest quality feedback from staff ensures our children can develop, practice and apply their skills as well as being challenged to move on and make new learning progress as soon as they are ready to do so.
We have the very highest aspirations for the children in our learning community and set high standards and expectations to challenge our children to be the best learners they can possibly be. We are unwavering in setting high expectations for the conduct of pupils and staff and are uncompromising in our ambition to improve the outcomes for all pupils at our school.
We have a broad and balanced curriculum which inspires our pupils to learn, where safeguarding is effective and pupils are listened to and feel safe. “To keep you safe and to help you learn” is our mantra.
Our school motto – Working together to achieve excellence for all – captures what we hope to facilitate for all our stakeholders, from pupils and their families to our staff and other learning partners in the wider community. Click here to view a video of our school.

Wow! We’ve seen the Coastguard, St John’s Ambulance, The Police and now the Fire Service! Thank you to all our community heroes for supporting our children’s learning.
On Friday Year 4 held a Viking Experience Morning to draw all their learning this half term together . During the morning we learned about how the Vikings learned how to improve their boat designs from the Romans and we created our very own Viking Longship. We also designed and made our own Viking Shields and axes (we learned that only really rich Vikings would have had swords); some of us posed looking very fierce !We also created our own messages on clay using runes (Viking alphabet ). It was a great morning and really brought our learning to life , please ask us what we know about Vikings!
The children in Reception have been enjoying weekly visits from Year 6 to share books. We have loved listening to the stories, talking about the pictures and sharing what we liked best. What an exciting and engaging way to develop a love of reading!
Lots of amazing activities that have been taking place during our Thrive sessions this term.
The Flamingos aspired to be scientists today and explored the school grounds looking for signs of spring.

To finish our work on early civilizations, the children were challenged to create a house from either the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age. They used their team work skills and showed how well they can understand each other by selecting and assembling their homes. It showcased how much their knowledge has progressed in Year 3. They can explain clearly how and why houses developed from teepees to hill forts.
