Our School

The school was established in 1861 and serves both the village and the wider community. It was originally described as 'a chaste and commodious gothic building'.  The school master, William Buckingham, reported that an average of about 90 children attended the school during the 1880s and 1890s.  The school currently caters for about 120 children and does so without losing its village school identity.

Playtime at Brent Knoll School

As a co-educational day school it caters for pupils from 4 to 11 years old.  We provide a caring, happy and positive atmosphere in which the children may fulfil their potential, grow in self-confidence and develop respect for the people and environment around them.  A strong work ethic together with emphasis placed on establishing good literacy and numeracy skills ensures the achievement of high academic standards.  Our special links with St. Michaels church and involvement in the life of the parish ensures our children and staff are part of a Christian community where everyone is valued.

Our Ethos Statement

Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan level.

The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice.  It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian value through the experience it offers to all its pupils.
