School’s history & background

Saint Nicholas School was founded in 1939 with a total roll of 7 pupils. By 1977, the pupil roll had increased to 140 and at this time the school moved from its modest premises in Mill Street, Churchgate Street, to the current location at Hillingdon House. Today, Saint Nicholas is a thriving independent coeducational day school catering for approximately 500 pupils aged from 2 ½ to 16, with a fabulous nursery for babies from 3 months of age.

The school is situated in delightful gardens and grounds which extend to more than 14 acres. Pupils in the lower, middle and upper school are each housed in their own area, within close proximity of each other, enabling good access to shared facilities. The School is very well equipped with specialist classrooms, science laboratories, technology areas, ICT rooms, and libraries. Sports facilities include extensive playing fields, tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, and a magnificent sports hall and state-of-the-art theatre.

The School is located close to London and Cambridge with direct train access to both, as well as being a short drive from Stansted Airport and the London Underground via Epping. You can find more about the school by visiting our website https://www.saintnicholasschool.net/
