Nelson Central School is an anchoring point that transforms a group of specialist teachers into a coherent, managed, and accountable service for the entire local education community.
Nelson Central School led by principal Pip Wells, is a vibrant primary school nestled right in the heart of Nelson city.
Steeped in history, Centrals school's rich heritage blends seamlessly with a modern, forward-thinking approach focused on its vision: Flourish in our learning, flourish in our world (Kia matomato te tipu i te ao).
