Principal's Welcome

Haberdashers’ Knights Academy is part of the Haberdashers’ Academies Trust, a group of academies that has been educating children in South London since 1876.

Every school has a story. At Haberdashers’ Knights Academy, we are writing one built on ambition, belonging and the belief that every young person can thrive.

Our purpose is to help every student become the very best version of themselves. That means achieving excellent academic outcomes, discovering new interests and developing the confidence, resilience and integrity to succeed in life.

The culture of a school matters. We want Knights to be a place where students are proud to belong, where classrooms are purposeful, where kindness and respect are the norm and where everyone is encouraged to keep improving. We believe that the small things matter because they shape the experience students have every day.

As part of Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South, we share a commitment to providing an exceptional education for every child. By combining the strength of our Trust with the dedication of our staff and the support of our families, we create opportunities for every student to thrive.

I hope our website gives you a sense of what Knights stands for. Better still, come and visit us. You will find a school full of energy, ambition and opportunity.
