Education
For the third year in a row, Knighton House School is launching their 100% scholarship and other discounted awards for local children. In a recent announcement, the school made the decision to move progressively towards coeducation. Consequently, for the 昀rst time Knighton House is now extending this wonderful opportunity of a 100% scholarship to boys aswell. The Booker Scholarships – named after the school’s founders John and Peggy Booker – will give local children the bene昀ts of a Knighton House education throughout their prep school years. Knighton House is looking to offer these scholarships to children showing potential either academically, in music, sport, riding or in art. Talented all-rounders will also be considered. The 100% Scholarship award is fully funded and will be awarded to a boy or girl between Years 3 and 8 and will cover the entirety of their Knighton House fees. Additional discounted awards will be available to local children. Knighton House’s mission is to be a leader in the education for young children. We believe that the 昀rst experience of education is the critical opportunity to inculcate the attitudes and skills that help children realise their potential. Our new bespoke KED curriculum (Knowledge, Enlightenment and Discovery) is designed to teach skills, build con昀dence and instil a lifelong love of learning. The aim is to prepare them to succeed in the 21st century. Knighton House pupils go on to a range of senior schools including the best private, grammar and state maintained schools. Every year children secure scholarships to their next schools. The con昀dence boys and girls gain at Knighton House enables them to thrive at their secondary schools and beyond — and sets them on the path of achievement and success. Old Knightonians go on to achieve distinction in all walks of life. These scholarships will be awarded after interviews and assessments with Knighton House teachers and 昀nal decisions will be based on a child’s potential and motivation. The Head at Knighton House commented: “Knighton House is about the very best educational outcomes and life skills for children. These awards are true to Knighton’s charitable mission and are a great way to broaden our contribution and reach to the local community. All of the girls who were given awards over the past two years have already contributed so much to the school, we’re absolutely delighted with how well they have settled in and made such a positive impact already. We are thrilled to now be able to offer these opportunities to boys in the local community as well.”
Closing date for applications is Friday 19th February, 2021
