St Nicholas Association of Parents & Staff (SNAPS)

Who are SNAPS?

SNAPS are Norton St Nicholas School's Parent Teacher & Friends Association (PTFA). We are a registered charity with the objective of advancing the education of the pupils at the school. 

If you are a parent/guardian of pupil(s), or a member of staff at Norton St Nicholas, then you are a member of SNAPS.  If you're an aunt/uncle/grandparent/ member of the local community who would like to support the school, you are also included in our membership.
