Frequently Asked Questions
Do my children have to be Catholic to attend St Nicholas Catholic High School?
No – St Nicholas provides places for Catholic families and non-Catholic families as detailed in our Admissions Policy.
I have heard it is very difficult to gain a place at St Nicholas – will my child get a place?
The Governors have increased the number of places available for students in Year 7 to support the historic demand for places at St Nicholas. Over the last few years, all families who put St Nicholas as their first or second choice and wished to join in September were able to do so.
I live quite a distance from St Nicholas – how will my child get to school?
There are a number of buses provided by the school which the Governors have chosen to subsidise – details of all routes can be found here. Many students also use the public train services to Greenbank and Hartford stations and other public bus routes to Hartford.
For entry to St Nicholas, families will need to complete the following documents between 1st September and 31st October.
