Welcome to Alderman Knight School
Alderman Knight is a very successful and well-established special school for children aged 7 to 19 with moderate and additional learning difficulties, complex needs and Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Many of our pupils live within the Tewkesbury and North Cotswolds area but the school is also able to take pupils from outside the local area.
Alderman Knight School has received an 'outstanding' judgement in each of its last four OFSTED inspections, dating back to 2010. The most recent inspection was an ungraded one, conducted on April 23rd and 24th, 2024. We are absolutely delighted that this inspection confirmed that Alderman Knight continues to be an outstanding school. You can read the whole report here.
We believe that the report reflects what we strive to do on a daily basis. Alderman Knight is a truly special place and we all feel extremely privileged to work here. We are incredibly well supported by our own school community but we also have huge support from the wider community.
We are fortunate to have a purpose built environment and the school buildings provide a learning environment that allows our pupils and students to access high quality facilities across the school, including specialist classrooms, a life-skills flat, a sensory room and a range of outdoor play equipment.
Values and Ethos
The school wishes to be recognised as a dynamic, vibrant, centre of excellence that is an integral part of the local community and county's provision for pupils with special educational needs and wholly committed to ensuring they grow up to lead safe, happy, healthy and successful lives.
Aim of the School
"To provide a supportive learning community that enables all children to thrive"
- Pupils are provided with an enriched and extended curriculum, tailored to individual needs. This will help them develop positive feelings of self-worth and confidence and will enable them to make a successful transition to adulthood and be active and responsible citizens.
- Parents, carers and families are encouraged and enabled to engage in their children's learning. They will be consulted and involved in decision-making processes and this will enable the school to ensure provision both for their children and themselves is accurately matched to need.
- Staff will have their individual needs recognised and will be helped to build on their strengths and enabled to develop their skills further through appropriate professional development opportunities.
- It works together with its local community of schools to extend the opportunities for all pupils to develop their individual strengths and potential.
