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.

This morning, Year 6 have been learning about static electricity. We had great fun participating in a range of investigations and then writing up our findings. Ask us what we have been up to!
This half term we have been answering the question, ‘Do all rivers run to the sea?’ To celebrate the end of our ASUPERHERO of our topic, we explored one of the local waterways, Oulton Dyke. Children engaged in a range of aspirational experiences, allowing them to explore their senses and new exciting opportunities. The children were challenged to build a raft, read maps, find trig points and sail. The children have not stopped talking about this exciting and engaging experience all week.
Year 4 had an amazing day being tourists on our beautiful local beach. We also completed our 11b411 challenge to be ‘Hiking Heroes’. We walked all the way there and back, keeping the smiles on our faces! We learned about a local business that relies on tourism, we ate ice cream, we paddled, we dug and played in the sand and we attempted to fly a kite. We all had a wonderful day!
Last year the Year 2 children were lucky enough to be selected to take part in the First Light opening parade.
Year 6 children went on our unforgettable residential trip to Eaton Vale. They were given the opportunity to take part in a whole range of activities including raft building, kayaking, trapeze, low ropes, team building, pioneering, backwoods cooking, archery and much more. It was a fantastic sensory experience and it was wonderful to see the children learn new skills.
In Design and Technology Snowy Owls made our buzzer games. We used our designs and worked together to make a circuit and our game bases. At the end we evaluated our games and then had a go on each other’s. We gave our friends feedback on the best things about their game and tips on how to improve it.
Year 4 really enjoyed learning circus skills on Tuesday morning. They learned sock poi, scarf juggling, diablo, plate spinning and even had a go at walking the tight rope!
Year 3 Investigating shadows
The Flamingos have had an exciting and engaging time celebrating Circus Ferrel!
What a fantastic opportunity the Year 1 children had to show off their learning around our local history to the volunteers at Maritime Museum!
