Welcome to Kniveton Church of England Primary School, where every child is encouraged to reach their full potential and achieve extraordinary things.

Despite being a small school, we make a significant impact on the lives of our students by fostering independence, responsibility, and respect. Our goal is to develop lifelong learners who are inspired to be the best they can be.

Nestled in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales, we take full advantage of our natural surroundings. Our students regularly engage in outdoor learning in our forest area, participate in trips to nearby Carsington Water, and enjoy half-termly outings to notable locations such as the Chatsworth Estate and Buxton Opera House.

We take great pride in our nurturing, family-like atmosphere that reflects our Christian values. Our strong connection with the local Church, St Michael and All Angels’, is central to our community, and we strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for all who visit.

At Kniveton, we believe that strong relationships are key to a thriving educational experience. We work closely with our school community to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where our pupils can explore, grow, and achieve their full potential.

We warmly invite you to visit us and experience firsthand the vibrant and supportive environment that makes our school so special. Whether you’re exploring our learning spaces or meeting our dedicated staff and enthusiastic pupils, you’ll get a true sense of what makes Kniveton a place where children thrive.

Mrs Popple
