OUTSTANDING!
Nicol Mere School is an outstanding school and one that is improving under the exceptionally good and inspirational leadership of the headteacher." "The school’s motto – ‘Learning is a passport to life – enjoy’ – is seen in all that it does and helps pupils to gain an impressive understanding of their futures in the world of work. Overall, pupils make consistently good progress. By the end of Year 6 they achieve extremely well in their learning because the school has very high expectations of them. Staff strive to eradicate any differences in the achievement of groups of pupils. For example, the school has been highly successful in helping pupils with previously challenging behaviour to enjoy learning and make good progress again and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make exceptional progress." This inspection places us in the top 6% of primary schools in the country! We are all extremely proud of our school's achievements!
