In April 2023, Ofsted graded the school as ‘good’ and commented that ‘Staff have high expectations of students’ behaviour and manage behaviour well. As a result, the school is a calm and orderly environment. Students say that the school values of ‘courage and courtesy’ are a part of their everyday school life.’
The Knights Templar School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
