Knowsley Central is located in the Huyton area of Knowsley. 

We work in close partnership with our parents, carers, cluster schools and the wider community to provide a rich, creative, active and inclusive learning community for everyone. Within the school’s provision is a highly trained and multi-professional team who work with other agencies to provide a wide range of co-ordinated services for children and families. 

Knowsley Central School is a community that nurtures and supports each pupil, that values everyone’s unique worth and contribution, that empowers every member to achieve his/her full potential and that opens up a world of opportunities. 

It is a place of safety where firm boundaries guide and support; where high expectations lead to life-long learning; where care and respect build self esteem and self belief. 

Knowsley Central School is a Restorative school whose core values are; respect, caring, fairness, tolerance, responsibility and honesty.  Restorative Practices aim to build Knowsley Central School’s community and to strengthen and repair its members’ relationships. 

We aim to make our school motto a reality;
Everyone is a Star and can Shine in our Learning Community
