Hallam block

Hallam block includes eight classrooms on two floors. Classroom layout varies depending on the year, encouraging either group or pairwise working. All the classes are equipped with whiteboards, OHP equipment, display space and at least two stand-alone PCs.

Classroom work in Hallam is often topic-based (right), and children contribute to the active displays.

The music room

St Nicholas has a long tradition of music, including ambitious musical events as well as teaching music as part of the curriculum.

The music room was re-equipped in 2004 with the help of funds from the PTA. The new equipment includes a music trolley which allows children to play music in classrooms as well as in the music room itself.
