DSAT
In December 2023 we became part of the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust, who support us with school improvement, Church School Flourishing and ensure all our staff have access to the most recent research and training. We benefit enormously from this partnership which ensures greater collaboration with other schools and experts and enables our continued growth and development as a school of excellence. For more Information on the Trust please follow the link: https://www.dsat.org.uk/
This is Willow our DSAT Bear, every school in the Trust has one of these special bears. Willow moves around the school and is a popular addition to the St Nicholas' school family and offers great fluffy cuddles! She reminds us that we are not just part of the St Nicholas family but part of the DSAT family of schools.
‘Beyond expectations for all of God’s children’
‘I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength’
Our vision is for the growth of thriving Christian learning communities, providing everyone with the opportunity to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Christian service is at the heart of all we do, as we help young people to develop excitement in learning and to live life to the full. We value everyone equally and demonstrate this through our words, actions, community life and the quality of the opportunities we provide.
Children and young people at the heart of all we do
Our young people will be inspired to develop academically and spiritually, aspiring beyond their own and others’ expectations.
Faithfulness to our Christian tradition
We put God’s love into action through our values of love, reconciliation, hope, forgiveness, peace, grace, justice and joy. Working with our parishes and communities, we encourage an understanding of the significance of faith through teaching, worship and prayer.
Striving for excellence
We love learning and are passionate about the high standards we can achieve in all aspects of life.
Collaboration
We build strong partnerships, learning with and from others as we challenge ourselves to reach new heights. We give of our best and expect the best from one another.
Celebrating success
We celebrate the achievements of every individual and share our successes widely.
