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
Open Working Mornings
Open Working Mornings are held throughout the year and are an opportunity to see the school in action. These are a popular way to visit with the whole family to experience a normal working morning at Knighton. These mornings run from 9am to 12.30pm.
A Knighton event
Or at one of the many events held at Knighton throughout the year where you can meet other parents and children more informally.
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 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.
