Nishkam Primary School strives to deliver a values-led curriculum in a calm and harmonious environment. It believes in more than academic excellence and endeavours to inspire in children a passion for lifelong learning.

"Children in the early years make good progress.

They have positive attitudes towards all adults and each other. Staff promote good behaviour and manage most pupils’ needs well."
