At Kniveton C of E Primary, we believe that all children have the potential to be extraordinary.
We inspire children to be:
Ambitious achievers
Independent learners
Respectful citizens
Our school values — Ambition, Independence and Respect — are at the heart of everything we do. Together, they form the acronym AIR, reminding us that these values should be everywhere around us, shaping our behaviour, our learning and our relationships each day. We encourage our children to aim high, take ownership of their learning and treat others with kindness and dignity. Just like the air we breathe, these values create the foundation for a positive, thriving school community.
Kniveton is a Church school
As a Church of England school, our Christian ethos is central to our identity and the way we live, learn, and grow together. We work in close partnership with the Derbyshire Diocese and our local church, who support and guide us in nurturing a caring, inclusive community rooted in faith and respect. Through regular worship, shared projects, and strong relationships, we ensure that our Christian values are woven through daily school life, enriching the experiences of all our children and families.
Collective worship
Collective worship is a valued and vibrant part of our school life.
Worship is led by a range of people within our community, including pupils, staff, and members of our local clergy, giving children the chance to experience different voices and perspectives. Our worship themes are rooted in our Christian virtues and school values, helping children to reflect on how these shape the way we live and work together. We also take time to explore important issues from the news and the wider world, encouraging our pupils to think deeply, show compassion, and understand their role in making a positive difference.
