"Some Positives and Areas for Improvement"

We've had a mostly positive experience at Knightlow. The school is well-maintained and the staff are generally friendly. However, we've found the communication between home and school to be a bit inconsistent at times. Our child enjoys the playtime and the circus event was a highlight for them. We're hoping to see some improvements in the coming months.

"Exceptional Education and Care"

We were so impressed with Knightlow during our child's time here. The teachers were excellent, the curriculum engaging and the opportunities for extra-curricular activities plentiful. The 'Knightlow family' really does feel like a support system for all parents and children. We would highly recommend this school!
