St Nicholas Church of England Primary School truly is a family school and I hope that through this website you will begin to feel a little of that family ethos. We are a growing school on the southern most tip of Blackpool and have a hard earned reputation for a good sound education which not only develops children academically but socially, emotionally and spiritually. We believe that a values-based, Christian education provides a sound basis for success in life and that if we work hand in hand with parents, there is no dream that our children can't achieve.

We believe that we are all on a learning journey and that it is the joy of learning new things which enriches our lives.
