It is our pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to you and we hope that you will find all the necessary information that you require about our school and our unique approach to education. The High School opened in September 2012 and we have now reached the stage in our development where we have 550 pupils in years 7-11. Our sixth form largely comprises our own students, though we do also benefit from students joining our sixth form from other schools. In total, therefore, we have approximately 660 pupils that benefit from our virtues-led approach to education that nurtures both the minds and hearts of our pupils.
Mental Health Awareness Week This week we are fostering open conversations amongst our students about mental health. While mental health challenges can often be invisible, it is vital to de-stigmatize reaching out for help and support for mental health challenges; understanding that mental health is just as important as our physical health. At Nishkam Schools, our students' mental health is a top priority. We encourage students to reach out to their teachers if they are facing mental health challenges so that we can best support them.
Happy International Mother Earth Day! Mother Earth Day is a reminder to ourselves that we need a shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. Today, let's reflect on the virtue of contentment to work towards more sustainable habits in our daily life, promoting harmony with mother nature.
Happy International Microvolunteering Day! Microvolunteering Day promotes awareness of the microvolunteering concept and how it can enable worthy causes and individuals to better the world via bite-sized actions. It is a unique opportunity for dedicated microvolunteering platforms, volunteer-involving organisations and individuals to join together in a synchronised effort to promote their contributions and demonstrate the power and potential of the microvolunteering concept.

Happy Vaisakhi to our sikh students and families! Sikhs remember the 5 beloved ones. In 1699 they were the first to volunteer to give up their lives for Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s message to always act with virtue, without vice and stand up for the meek. https://t.co/OUJkMlTVeg

Wishing all of our Muslim pupils, staff and families a very happy Ramadan! During the month of Ramadan, Muslims won't eat or drink during the hours of daylight. This is called fasting. Ramadan remembers the month the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. https://t.co/9TmjSHxITR
