A warm welcome to The Knights Templar School

We are proud of our school as a community comprehensive serving the people of Baldock and the surrounding villages and our pupils’ learning is greatly enhanced by the strong links with our local area.  That is why, to strengthen our position as a highly successful all-ability school at the very heart of our community, in April 2011, Knights Templar became an Academy.

Outstanding academic achievement
Academic achievement, underpinned by the highest quality teaching, means we are consistently among the top 10 per cent of schools in the country, with OFSTED judging us to be “an outstanding school”.  We do, however, see our role as more than simply academic educators.

Committed to developing well-rounded individuals
We believe strongly in exposing our students to the widest possible range of experiences and opportunities that will enable them to achieve their maximum potential.  We consider it our responsibility to ensure they leave the school respectful, successful, happy, well-rounded individuals who are a credit to themselves and their community.

All abilities and backgrounds welcome
Success to us is not, however, simply about focusing on the brightest and most gifted.  The school is open to children of all abilities and our pastoral care ensures that every student receives the nurturing, support and guidance they need.  As an integral part of our community, we accommodate students from all backgrounds and while the school is broadly Christian, we are equally welcoming to those of other faiths and no faith.

We hope you will have the opportunity to visit us at Knights Templar in the future; to allow us to show you in person our school and the pupils of which we are all so proud.
