Welcome to Nicholas Chamberlaine School
Welcome to Nicholas Chamberlaine School, a proud member of the Griffin Schools Trust. We are a community in which students discover who they are and go on, confidently, to take their places in society. The opportunities here for growth and development are extensive, exciting and engaging. We know that when children and staff find school to be enjoyable and enriching, wonderful communities grow.
At NCS, we believe in 100% achievement: every child has the ability to succeed within the positive, supportive and challenging environment. This is a dynamic learning community where students’ interests, happiness and wellbeing are our first consideration at all times. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we know that they feel valued and empowered by the experiences they share here. Likewise, they thrive in our truly progressive Sixth Form: leaving well equipped to follow their dreams.
Our commitment to providing rich and varied educational opportunities for all our students is predicated on breadth and excellence, an extensive programme of free extra-curricular activities, an involving and stimulating physical environment and a staff team of interesting people who are motivated to advance their own knowledge and skills as well as that of their students.
You are most welcome to come and see for yourself why Nicholas Chamberlaine School is such a special place! Whether you are a prospective parent, student, member of staff, alumni or a member of the community, we would love to hear from you. Please do come and visit us soon.
“Nicholas Chamberlaine is a place where pupils are happy and adults take the time to get to know them.”
