St Nicholas’ Primary School is a popular community school located just outside of Oxford city centre in Old Marston. We have 409 pupils aged between 3-11 years and a team of more than 70 staff members. We welcome all children to our school community regardless of race, sex, ability, class or faith. Almost 40 percent of our children are from ethnic minority groups and nearly one in three speak a language other than English. We also have an Autism Resource Base, which is an important part of our inclusive school. We are proud of the way our school celebrates cultural and social diversity and put it at the heart of our vision, which is to create a school where every child is special and is able to learn in an environment that is rich and creative. Our school motto is: Live, Love, Learn and be Happy The school was inspected by Ofsted in July 2009 and we are delighted to be declared a 'Good school', with many 'Outstanding' features. So thank you to all the children, staff, parents/carers and volunteers who work so hard to make St Nicholas' Primary School such a great school. We hope you enjoy exploring our new website and a warm welcome to you if you are visiting for the first time. Rachel Crouch

... The children there are happy, and loved and they get along. And that is what primary school is all about. - Parent, St Nicholas' Primary School, child in Year 1. ... St Nicholas' Primary School is an inviting, inclusive community. My children have been encouraged to be themselves, develop their strengths and care for their fellow students, their community and their family. I couldn't ask for anything more from a primary school. - Parent, St Nicholas' Primary School, child in Year 1 and 4. ... I feel safe safe at school [...] the year sixes look after younger children, they are called buddies. [...] I've got friends to look after me and if we ever fall out then there are friendship benches that you sit on and if someone else hasn't got anyone to play with you and them can make friends so I'm never lonely. - Student, Year 5
