Nishkam School Trust (NST) is a pioneering group of academy schools with a Sikh ethos, multi-faith, virtues-led’ approach to education. We are inspired by the inter-religious legacy of the Sikh faith. We believe that our approach to education should be more than simply be a means to acquiring factual knowledge. It should engage pupils more fully to what it might be to be of the highest of human virtue and engage in the question of the purpose of life and beyond. NST has grown since the first wave of free schools in 2011; we now have the privilege of educating more than 2500 students across 4 schools and 2 nurseries in the West Midlands and West London.
