As Headteacher of this amazing community of students, staff, families and governors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website.

St. Nicholas, or ‘St. Nick’s’ as it is known locally, is a thriving special school in Southend-on-Sea which offers students aged 11 – 16 years the opportunity to flourish in a safe, nurturing and creative environment. With just 100 students on roll, we maintain a ‘family feel’ within our well-resourced provision, where relationships are at the heart of everything that we do. The well-being and achievement of every student is our priority.  Our small class sizes of 12 students enable positive relationships to develop between staff and students and offer the support necessary for students to achieve their individual best.

All students on roll have an Education, Health and Care Plan and St. Nicholas is part of a Multi-Academy Trust, the SEN Trust Southend, along with three other local special schools.

Visits to the school for prospective students and their families 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.

Warm wishes

Laura Fox

Headteacher
