Dear Parent / Guardian,

May I take this opportunity to welcome you to Knockmore Primary School. Whether you already have a child with us or this is your first contact with our school community, you are very warmly welcomed.

Knockmore is a uniquely inclusive and nurturing school. We are proud to provide a wonderful learning environment for seven mainstream classes from Years 1 to 7 and seven Specialist Provision in Mainstream (SPiM) classes, supporting children with speech, language and social communication needs. With a diverse pupil population and a wide range of abilities represented across our school, our commitment is simple: every child is valued, every child is supported, and every child is encouraged to thrive.

Our ethos, rooted in Christian principles, promotes a caring, respectful and supportive atmosphere where children feel safe, happy and ready to learn. Our school values — Respect, Kindness, Safety, Happiness, Honesty, Responsibility and Resilience guide everything we do, helping our pupils grow not only academically but socially, emotionally and personally.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. I hope that as you explore this website, you will gain a strong sense of what Knockmore has to offer. Here you will find information about our curriculum, specialist provision, pastoral support, enrichment opportunities and the broad, balanced education we provide.

We are fortunate to have outstanding facilities which enhance learning and wellbeing, including two bespoke sensory rooms, a dedicated movement room, a modern playpark, our own Forest School and a pupil planting area that encourages outdoor learning and exploration. These resources allow us to offer meaningful, engaging experiences for all children.

However, no website can fully capture the warmth, energy and spirit of daily life at Knockmore. I would therefore warmly invite you to visit us in person. Please feel free to contact me to arrange a tour of the school. I would be delighted to meet you, show you our learning environment and answer any questions you may have.
I hope that you find Knockmore Primary School welcoming, supportive and inspiring, a place where your child can grow in confidence, develop new skills and experience success.

I look forward to meeting you and your child in the near future.

Yours sincerely,

Mr W Smyth
Principal
