Values and vision 

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. Nishkam schools aim to create a mindset that serves others without expectation or recognition; this, the trust believes, promotes humility and unlocks an individual’s potential. 

Nishkam Primary’s new and renovated buildings are a serene environment. The premises include a forested area for children to enjoy. 

Ofsted report 

"Children in the early years make good progress. Good teaching and interesting learning opportunities enable children to settle quickly, listen well and improve their skills … The behaviour of pupils is good. They have positive attitudes towards all adults and each other. Staff promote good behaviour and manage most pupils’ needs well."
