History

Knowl Hill was founded in 1984. As well as standard classrooms, the school also provides a science lab and an art block with a photography studio. The school itself is small, as are the grounds within which the school is located. Because of this, certain activities or sports take place outside the school, for example tennis which takes place on public tennis courts within the village of Pirbright itself around a one-minute walk from the school.

Progression

Some pupils return to mainstream education before year 11, however, few continue to take GCSEs and BTECs. They then move on to embark on vocational courses.[ citation needed ]
