Message from our Chaplain Mairie
Accessing the Foodbank
Whilst we hope that everyone is coping well with the present situation, this is a difficult time and we appreciate that there may be some families who are undergoing hardship because of changes in work or personal circumstances. The majority of Foodbank users will only access the Foodbank three times. but those three times will make a difference.
So that we may support our St Nicholas family we have registered as a referral organisation for the Foodbank. If you would like to have this support, we are able to process an on-line referral and arrange an appointment for you to collect a five-day food package from an agreed centre.
Please do get in touch if we can be of help in this manner. Our chaplain is the point of contact – Mairie Gelling at m.gelling@st-nicholas.cheshire.sch.uk . As always, our conversation and any information that we need to pass on to the Foodbank, will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. For alternative access, you can also contact the local Citizens Advice in the Community on 07894 238963

Parents are finding our new Edulink One app very useful and user friendly. You can view your child’s attainment and behaviour scores throughout the day, check their meal choices, give consent for photographs, trips etc. All of which will help you stay up to date with your child’s school life.
Please contact admin@st-nicholas.cheshire.sch.uk for any help with Edulink
