Clare Martin Headteacher Welcome King James’s School is a highly successful comprehensive school at the heart of the Knaresborough community. Our aim is to help children develop into confident, sensitive and responsible adults who are able to play an active part in today’s society, where adaptability, ingenuity and consideration for others are perhaps more important than ever before. With a charter and foundation dating back to 1616, we have an enviable tradition and identity which are combined with the best in modern curriculum design and innovative teaching and learning. We are renowned for our inclusivity and positive ethos. Academically we maintain the high standards that the parents of Knaresborough have come to expect from the school. We also have a rich profile of extra-curricular activities and we believe in giving parents the opportunity to enjoy the achievements of their children. The talents and enthusiasm of the staff here know no bounds and we are dedicated to ensuring that all of our youngsters fulfil their potential. This prospectus provides a snapshot of the school.
