- We are also enjoying our new PE shed, it’s accessibility and the extra storage that it provides.
- We also provide sports exchanges with other schools allowing a great number of children to participate with a ‘Knighton Way’ competitive spirit.
- We are very proud of our children who participated in the true Knighton Way and won the Top Schools event in 2010 and 2011. This is an event that demands team work and sportsmanship as a major factor.
