Welcome...

A very warm welcome to everyone visiting our school website. We hope you find it an enjoyable and informative experience.

When considering its design, we thought about our parent's ability to easily access information and also provide our children with an excellent learning resource. We hope we have achieved both, but if you think there is something we can improve please contact us with your suggestions using the e-mail link below.

Thank you for visiting.
Michael John, Head Teacher

Our Values and Vision

To help achieve our mission we have developed a set of goals which we will work together to deliver:

Academic achievement:
High quality learning and progress is closely linked to outstanding teaching and curriculum. Our children want lessons which motivate and challenge them. Children want to be engaged and directly involved in their education, understanding how to be successful and learning how to improve the quality of their work and be outstanding learners. We want our children to be creative, court ambition, to aim high, show perseverance and develop resilience for life’s challenges.

Relationships:
To achieve this, our goal is to develop relationships of mutual trust and respect. Children work with a variety of Learning Partners and teams to achieve their goals. They grow to know and understand each other and look to our staff to provide them with the skills to be successful at this. Our staff nurture and encourage children to be excellent learners, be their best, celebrate their success and help them to aim even higher.

Care:
No barrier is too difficult to be overcome. Everyone at Knebworth School is committed to caring for all our children, regardless of ability, beliefs, background or culture. Good progress boosts confidence. At Knebworth, our children’s progress will be discussed throughout the year and rigorously supported according to need. It is our goal that every child has the opportunity to enjoy healthy and fulfilling lives.   

 

 

Personalised Learning:
Staff are committed to engaging children in a variety of personalised learning experiences to support their progress. Our curriculum will be tailored to match the needs of pupils. Some children may receive focused group support, individual tutors or have an Individual Education Plan. Our goal is to support all children to be the best learners they can be.

Partnership:
Everyone at Knebworth School wants to foster excellent relationships with a wide variety of partners. To extend learning beyond the classroom, we need to work closely with parents so they can offer their child the support they need. The school works with a wide range of professionals and community groups in order to ensure children and staff are supported in their work.

Community:
Our goal is to encourage children to be responsible citizens who make a positive difference to the communities they live and work in.

Environment:
Now more than ever, children need to show care for their environment. Our goal is to create a safe and inspiring learning environment which supports our vision
