Applying for a place at St Nicolas
At St Nicolas there are two steps to the admissions process.
1. Apply through Brighton & Hove Council as with any other school.
Their application form is here: Brighton & Hove Council Admissions
2. And then complete our admissions forms.
Note: As of September 2013 due to the amalgamation of the Parishes of St Andrew and St Nicolas with that of the Parish of The Good Shepherd in Mile Oak, the Parish boundary was enlarged. This is important to know when applying under criteria 6 of the 'over subscription' criteria. The map of the new Parish can be viewed in the school office.
