At St Nicholas, students who have a MOVE programme in place will practise their individual tasks and targets daily. However, we also have bespoke weekly MOVE sessions; where we work in collaboration with our Physios, OTs and SaLTs to deliver topic based sessions that encourage the students to practise and show off their skills. #### [![](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/Move_1.jpg)](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/IMG_0436.JPG) [![](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/Move_2.jpg)](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/IMG_0403.JPG) [![](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/Move_3.jpg)](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/images/MOVE/IMG_0419.JPG) #### For more information on the MOVE Programme at St Nicholas School please email Catherine Robinson - c.robinson@stns.org.uk For more information about MOVE, please visit parents and carers resource area If you would like to learn more about MOVE Europe please call 0203 327 1553 or email ### About Us - [Welcome](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome) - [Aims and Values](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome/the-aims-of-the-school) - [Curriculum Information](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/curriculum) - [Wellbeing Team](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome/wellbeing-team) - [Creative Therapies Team](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome/wellbeing-team/creative-therapies-team) - [Governors](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/governors) - [PROACT-SCIPr-UK @ St Nicholas School](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome/proact-scipruk-st-nicholas-school) - [MOVE at St Nicholas School](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/welcome/move) - ![Every Moment Matters](https://files.schudio.com/stnicholas/images/partners/every_moment_matters_logo_(9).jpg) - ![Togetherness](https://files.schudio.com/stnicholas/images/partners/togetherness_Gold_logo(1).png) - ![School Games 2026](https://files.schudio.com/stnicholas/images/partners/Gold_Logo300x300trans.jpg) ##### Location Holm Oak Close Canterbury Kent CT1 3JJ ##### Contact Us 01227 464316 © Copyright 2013–2026 St Nicholas School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.st-nicholas.kent.sch.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
