Mission Day on Thursday 26th January went well and all students were engaged and active from start to finish.
All years had elements of Catholic Social Teaching and finding situations where Gospel Values can be applied in our day to day life. We also had visitors and guest speakers; Year 10 were fully engaged by the army practising team work and problem solving, Year 10 and Year 11 both had excellent, fun and interactive presentations from www.speakandwinuk.co.uk about communication and resilience and Year 7 ‘Walked for Water’.
As advised in letters sent to parents Thursday, school will be closed to students on Wednesday 1st February.
Full provision for learning will be provided online.

At St Nicholas we are very proud of our students, past and present.
We always enjoy hearing about their future journeys and the success they achieve after studying with us.
Following the cancellation last week, the NHS nurses will be in school on Monday 30th January to administer the flu vaccine.
Years 7, 8 and 9 will be offered the vaccine. Please give your consent by clicking on the link in the letter or here. The school code is CP111450
With the exam season approaching we have more students needing to use laptops and the exam department is struggling to meet demand.
If you have an old laptop you no longer need, it would be really helpful if you would consider donating it to school. All that is required is Notepad which we will install, so even older machines will work.
Fizz Photography are coming in on Thursday 2nd February to take Year Group photos of Years 11, 12 & 13 in the Assembly Hall.
