A warm welcome back to all of our pupils and staff after the summer holidays. We are excited to begin another year working together guided by our vision of success for all and being guided by our school values of ambition, respect and community.
A special welcome to those who are joining our school this year, whether as staff or pupils. We are delighted to have you as part of our Knox community.
My advice to all pupils would be to enjoy learning with and from others and to be curious - ask lots of questions and explore new ideas. Please also join extra-curricular clubs and develop friendships across year groups. Take every opportunity you can to learn new skills and develop your talents.
As Nelson Mandela said, ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’
So embrace it!
I wish everyone a happy, successful and rewarding year ahead and look forward to celebrating your successes.
The LGBT+ Allies club is always open to new members! We meet every Wednesday lunch time in T1.1 (Ms Fletcher's room). One week we do a safe space meeting, the next a formal meeting where we play games and discuss LGBT+ events around the school. We also talk about how to make the school a more LGBT+ friendly place. For more info, ask Ms Fletcher or Ms Stobie.
