St Nicholas-at-Wade schools

The current St Nicholas C of E Primary School is popular with parents in the surrounding areas — which can also cause traffic problems inside the village.

Information on the various past schools in the village can be found in Richard Parker's 'The Schools of St Nicholas-at-Wade, 1640-1957' (pub. Millbank 1957) and also Anneli Jones's The Changing Face of St Nicholas-at Wade. Many photos of the 1970s onwards have been shared on social media; for now we're showing just a selection through time.
