The school was inspected on Tuesday 7th - Wednesday 8th December and I am absolutely delighted to be able to share with you the Ofsted report resulting from that inspection.

Staff and governors are thrilled that the inspection confirmed that Alderman Knight is an outstanding school and we are very grateful to all the  parents who provided information to the inspectors to help them make their judgements. 

We are very proud of the report and feel that it highlights clearly why the school is such a great place for children with a very wide range of needs to thrive and achieve so well.

We are particularly pleased that the report emphasises the excellent care, support and guidance provided for all pupils and how this leads to outstanding progress in terms of personal development and well-being. Our curriculum is also deemed as outstanding and as a result the academic achievements made by all pupils is at least good and for many it is exceptionally good.

In addition we are really pleased that our relationships with parents and all other agencies with which we work was deemed to be outstanding. This is so important to us as we know that it is only by working closely in partnership that we can ensure our provision is as good as it can be.

Alderman Knight is a very special place. There is a wonderful staff team who are very talented and wholly committed to providing the very best for all pupils. Relationships within the school are another major strength and the atmosphere within the school reflects this.
