About

At Knighton Mead, we strive for excellence. We endeavour for all children to have special and happy memories of their time with us and through positive relationships between staff, families and local academy councillors we hold true our values of Be Kind. Work Hard. Strive for Excellence.

Children get one chance for an education and at the core of our curriculum is the belief that all our students are entitled access to the best which has been thought, said, written and created in all subject areas. They are equipped with the knowledge and skills to make them lifelong learners.

Highly skilled and committed practitioners ensure that children make better than expected progress and are equipped for the next step of their education. Character Education underpins the curriculum at Knighton Mead, ensuring that all children have the positive learning behaviours required to be successful.

Everyone's Welcome is embedded to guarantee that children are fully prepared to embrace the diversity of the world around them. Becoming a positive global citizen is also at the forefront of learning and children have an active voice in extra-curricular activities such as achieving the Green Flag award and raising money for local and national charities.
