"A good school, but some room for improvement"

We have been generally pleased with our child's experience at St Nicholas. However, we have noticed that the school's communication with parents could be improved, and sometimes the after-school clubs are oversubscribed. The staff are friendly and supportive, but some classes are quite large.
