Summary

Knowl Hill School is an independent special school located in Woking, Surrey, catering to a mixed-gender cohort of 65 students aged 10-16. The school focuses on supporting pupils with complex and co-occurring needs, including specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, as well as conditions like ADHD and autism. Many students transition from mainstream education, often having faced academic challenges, bullying, and social isolation.

The school prides itself on providing a safe and nurturing environment where students can rediscover their confidence and unlock their potential. With small class sizes and tailored education plans, Knowl Hill ensures personalised attention and fosters strong relationships between students and staff. The curriculum is designed not only to address academic needs but also to promote essential life skills, including communication and self-advocacy.

Knowl Hill School is committed to holistic development, integrating therapeutic support and social-emotional learning into its educational approach. This focus helps students build resilience and prepares them for a fulfilling future, both academically and personally.
