St. Nicholas Church of England, Voluntary Aided School was founded in 1846 and has maintained through the last 157 years, a very close relationship with St. Nicholas Church, Child Okeford despite relocating to the outskirts of the village in 1977. 2003 is our Silver Jubilee Year in the ‘new’ building. The Bishop of Sherborne, the Right Reverend Tim Thornton, will be leading a service and taking part in the celebrations.
The accommodation includes four classrooms, School Hall, Fiction and Non Fiction Library, a Medical/Cookery/PTA Room, an Art and Technology Room and a Resource Area plus a staffroom and office.
St. Nicholas Pre-School runs from 9-12, in a room adjacent to the hall. A Parent and Toddler Group meet at 1.30 on Tuesdays. (Contact Mrs Pauline Pinkney on 01258-861007)
