Nic is a non-graded guitar player but is often keen to show off his "skills" before his GCSE Music class. He formerly performed Rythmn Guitar, Bass and Lead Vocals for the Year 9 musical futures band, 'Satsumas, Live Wasp and Nightmares' (previously known as 'Maroon Six', 'Rob & Dave' and 'Nic's Group'). Other members included Cahal Tinman (Lead Guitar/Bass/Backing Vocals), Josh Mitchell (Piano/Keyboard), Alex Woodfield (Piano/Keyboard), Elliot Fosong (Drums/'Humming Along') and James Ashworth (Anything that was going, usually the remaining Guitar part or Bass). The band covered Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz), Wisemen (James Blunt), All Day and All of the Night (Kinks), Use Somebody (Kings of Leon), Seven Nation Army (The White Stripes), Rearrange (Miles Kane, never performed), Fire (Kasabian, never performed) and Suck It and See (Arctic Monkeys, never finished or performed). In December 2011, the band partially reformed to perform the christmas song, All I Want For Christmas is You with Cal Tinman and Josh Mitchell. The new members were Alex Wardlow (Drums), Stefan Petrycki (Clarinet) and Jake Sutcliffe (Back-Up Guitar). This was yet another song that went unperformed.

He is good friends with Bruce Lee's twin brother, Cal Tinman. Cal, refuses to accept that he 'looks a bit Chinese' and is often teased about this by Nic himself, Toby Howarth and Usman Khan in his English class. Even Mr Ventress himself states that Cal has 'that oriental look about' him.

Nic used to have dreadfully long dark blonde hair. He currently sports a Sloppy 50's quiff with a DA (April 2012 - present).

According to Nic, his favourite films are Submarine (dir. by Richard Ayoade), Kill List (dir. by Ben Wheatley), Attack the Block (dir. by Joe 'Cornballs' Cornish) and ALL of Edgar Wright's films (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World).

Nic is an avid film fan and an aspiring filmmaker. He wishes to skip university in order to attend a film school or an arts college to study film, though he would be interested in attending Cambridge University, purely to join the 'Footlights'. Either that or become a proffessional musician.

Nic often chews during class, to the dismay of nearly ALL of his teachers.

Nic is an avid fan of the game he invented with Gabrielle Royle during one of their late night texting sessions called, 'Say Pizza!'. The idea of the game is, you say, 'Say Pizza!' to anybody and then they are supposed exclaim (or reply if playing online/via text message) 'Pizza!'.

Nic has been on all the Reports numerous times, though he is 'not a naughty boy' (according to both Mr Clarke and Mrs Young). He is just 'rubbish' at homework and his uniform 'always falls out'.

According to Bronagh Wyatt, Nic is "awesome" which made him so happy, he posted it on this page.

Nic was a witness to the famous James Ashworth head stabbing incident, committed by Alex Wardlow.
