At Knowle, we know that by enriching our curriculum with different experiences, our children will grow to understand more about the world in which they live.  

It is our commitment to plan purposeful learning experiences for all children at our school.  Teachers carefully map out the opportunities within our local and wider community that will enable children to ground their learning in school.  Learning from experts at the National Marine Aquarium, local farms, The Eden Project, professional sailors or Plymouth Centre for Faith and Cultural Diversity combine to provide our children with the most ambitious, most impactful curriculum to help them prepare to be confident citizens with ambitions to make a difference in the world.
