Our Staff Team

At Knowl Hill School, we are incredibly proud of our dedicated and passionate staff team who work together to create a nurturing, stimulating, and happy environment for all our pupils. As a small independent school, we benefit from close relationships between staff, children, and families fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.

Our teachers bring a wealth of experience, creativity, and enthusiasm to the classroom, ensuring that every child receives personalised attention and support to reach their full potential. Beyond the classroom, our wider team including teaching assistants, therapists, admin staff, and pastoral support, all play an essential role in the smooth and caring running of the school.

We believe that the strength of our school lies in the people who make it what it is: a safe, inspiring place where children feel valued, challenged, and encouraged to grow into confident, compassionate individuals.

Every member of our staff is committed to upholding the highest standards of safeguarding and pupil wellbeing, and we continually invest in professional development to ensure our team is supported and well-equipped to deliver the very best for our pupils.

Together, we aim to make Knowl Hill a place where both staff and students thrive.
