Knights Academy Year 7 Starters
Thank you for considering applying to Haberdashers' Knights Academy. Starting secondary school is a significant milestone in a child's school journey. We work closely with primary schools to ensure a strong transition from Key Stage 2, so that all children are prepared for starting their secondary school careers.
We are a school at the heart of its community. We are committed to our vision of ensuring that our children get the best start in life through our shared ‘ASPIRE’ values of Accountability, Self-Discipline, Partnership, Integrity, Respect and Excellence, helping pupils to turn their ambitions, into success. We have high expectations of our pupils, celebrating the success of the collective and each child as an individual, in equal measure. This means as well as maturing into well-rounded, healthy young people, our pupils develop their confidence, passion for learning and curiosity for life.
We look forward to welcoming new pupils and families to our school.
