Admissions

Welcome to Picknalls First School

At Picknalls we know our children well and are committed to providing them with the best possible start to their education in a safe, caring and happy environment.

Our school motto sums this up in three words:

We want our children to feel the satisfaction of achieving their full potential – not just academically but in art, sport and personal achievement. We aim to nurture young people who care for each other and for their community.
