About Us
There has been a school in existence in Knowle for hundreds of years and a Christian-based education has always been at the very heart of this thriving community-minded village. The oldest known school in the village was attached to the Chantry of the Church and this heritage, our Christian vision and values, underpin every aspect of school life.
Our school vision is:
'Growing in God's Love; Flourishing Together'. At Knowle CE Primary Academy, we provide a nurturing environment for all children and adults to grow in mind, body and spirit, enabling everyone to fulfil their potential. Individuals are celebrated for their unique gifts and flourish together through living out our school values, as we make a positive impact on each other, our local community and the wider world. As a result, children are well-prepared for a future in which they will bear lasting fruit and make the world a better place.
Our school is uniquely positioned within a thriving village and within a matter of metres of Knowle Parish Church. Our relationship with Knowle Parish Church enriches the lives of children and enables us to flourish together. Children regularly visit the Church as both participants and leaders of worship, and church clergy and the wider church team play an active role in school life, leading school worship on a weekly basis and delivering clubs to children. Our relationship with charities, businesses and long-standing societies based within the village of Knowle further help children to flourish, as children learn about local heritage, live out our Christian values and develop a strong sense of belonging.
We are exceptionally proud of our track record in achieving the highest academic standards but know that our children only flourish if they are happy, confident and enjoy their education. Our curriculum reaches far beyond academic subjects and we are proud that the personal development of our pupils has been recognised as outstanding.
We warmly welcome visitors to our school and if you are considering sending your child to Knowle CE Primary Academy, it may be possible to arrange a visit outside of our Open Mornings. Please contact the school office to enquire.
