English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Mrs. Alison Shearer is our EAL (English as an Additional Language) Lead.
Celebrating diversity is at the heart of what we do at St Nicholas C of E Primary and can be appreciated all around the school. It is incorporated into our values and the curriculum to enrich learning and embrace differences.
