Welcome to the St. Nicholas Special School website!
St. Nicholas School is situated in Southend-On-Sea and offers a quality, inclusive education for secondary aged students (11-16 years) with an Education and Health Care Plan. St. Nicholas is part of a Multi-Academy Trust, the SEN Trust Southend, along with three other local special schools.
It is our aim to encourage every student to achieve their full potential, to become an independent adult and an active member of their local community, relative to their ability.
Our school offers a safe and happy environment where the well-being and achievement of every student is our priority. Small class sizes enable positive relationships to develop between staff and students and offer the support necessary for students to achieve their individual best.
We also offer additional support to students and families from our excellent pastoral team which includes our Home/School Liaison Officer, a qualified part-time Counsellor, a Behaviour Mentor and Learning Mentor. We access support when needed from an Educational Psychologist, the School Nurse team and other relevant external agencies e.g. Early Help.
Visits to the school are offered within a group and take place once a month. If you would like to arrange a visit then please contact the school office by telephone.
Warm wishes,
Laura Fox
Headteacher
