Visiting Knighton

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you a useful and informative insight into life at Knighton House School.

Of course, there is nothing better than coming to see us and experiencing for yourself the magic of Knighton.

You are very welcome to call our Head of UK Admissions who will be happy to arrange a visit or to answer your questions and guide you through any aspect of the admissions procedures.

There are a number of ways we’d love to welcome you to Knighton House.

 

Personal visit

Either for a personal visit, which is much preferred so we can provide the best possible bespoke visit tailored to you. This is an opportunity to meet and chat with Robin Gainher who will take you round the school to ensure you see as much as possible. We are always conscious of time pressures for visiting families so do please let us know how long you have for the visit and if there was any particular aspect of the school, or department, you would especially like to visit so we can tailor your visit accordingly.

To arrange a personal visit please call our Admissions team – 01258 452065 or email: admissions@knightonhouse.co.uk

 

Taster Days
Having seen the school in action on a visit we would always encourage your child to come for a ‘taster day’ or ‘taster boarding night’, or both! These give your child an opportunity ‘try out’ Knighton House for themselves. We would make sure that they are looked after by an assigned ‘shadow’ for the day, someone who might already know your child or who has something in common with them to ensure they bond immediately. We normally find children have had a wonderful day after a tester session and definitely want to come back again!

Our Admissions team will be happy to arrange a taster day/night.

Entry Process
Entry Process

Children may join at any point during the academic year, when there are places available. Our small classes ensure that all new arrivals are made to feel welcome and are able to integrate quickly and easily. You will soon feel very much part of the Knighton community once you have joined.

It’s really important to us that we help you every step of the way and guide you through every possible detail where no question is off limits.

We understand that circumstances change all the time so we are always as flexible and accommodating as possible about accepting children. Please do ask if you are considering placing your child with us at any point during the year not just the usual entry times which tend to be at the start of each term.

Registration can take place at any time but early registration is recommended in order to secure a place. A registration form should be completed and the appropriate registration fee paid. If a particular year group is full, children will be placed on a waiting list.

Our Admissions Registrar will write to you with details of the deposit and when it is due to secure your child’s place at Knighton. The balance of this deposit is refundable after the deduction of any outstanding charges following your final account. The deposit is not refundable if your child does not take up the place.

Although Knighton House is a non-selective school, it’s important to us that that your child will be able to flourish at Knighton so we pay particular attention to their report and reference from their previous school as well as on meeting them when they visit. We will also invite them to take part in some form of assessment before they arrive so we are informed of their academic ability. The type of assessment varies depending on entry point.

Entry Points
Entry points to Knighton

Whilst the main entry points to the Prep School are at 7+ (NC Year 3) and 11+ (NC Year 7), places are often available in the intervening year groups.

We understand that it is not always possible to join at the beginning of the academic year and on occasions pupils join at the beginning of the Lent and Summer Terms.  We aim to be as flexible as possible.

We look forward to warmly welcoming you to Knighton House School.

Open Mornings
Open Mornings

Open Morning visitors will have the chance to look round the prep school and pre prep with some of our pupils, meet with staff and with our Headmaster, Robin Gainher. There will also be various events going on for the children including pony rides, sporting challenges and various hands-on activities so your children really enjoy their morning.

In addition, Open Working Mornings are held throughout the year which are an opportunity to see the school in action. These are a popular way to visit and experience a normal working morning at Knighton. These mornings run from 9am to 12.30pm.

Please do get in touch with our Admissions team to find out more 01258 452065 or e-mail admissions@knightonhouse.co.uk
