Incident on Monday 6 February 2023
There was a serious assault on Monday 6 February 2023 on the junction of Salcombe Road and Stanwell Road close to Thomas Knyvett College, soon after the end of the school day.
Well done to all our year 11s who celebrated their results today. Your hard work and dedication was second to none. You really proved yourself to be the most fantastic year group. We wish you all of the best in your next stages of education/ employment or training.
We are taking this situation extremely seriously and are working with all agencies involved. We need to ask for calm and patience while vital work is undertaken to establish the facts.
What a fantastic end to the academic year for our year 11’s last night at prom. We are glad that you had a lovely time and we hope you have an amazing summer.

for coming to visit us. We looks forward to seeing you again in February 2019!
The police were called, and they have made a number of arrests in connection with this incident, and their investigation is ongoing.
Uppermost in our thoughts has been the welfare and care of the victim.
A successful first day with Year 10 students onsite. All social distancing adhered to and the face to face opportunity appreciated by staff and students. We look forward to welcoming more students onsite throughout the week.
A huge thank you to all involved in setting up & administering so quickly and efficiently the TKC mass testing stations. Staff and students who are scheduled to be onsite received their first of two tests today. Thank you to Mrs Fitzpatrick for co-ordinating the team.

We were so very grateful at TKC to receive a £1000 grant from 'Tesco Bags of Help'. It enabled us to enhance our LRC for our students. Without the grant, we would have been unable to improve this facility for our school and students. Thank you again Bags of Help!
What a great start Year 7 have had on their Secondary School journey. All I have had is compliments from staff and they all currently have 1,116 proud points! Amazing! Keep up the hard work! Miss Penycate
We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
An inspirational legacy has been left after a lifetime of service.
Another incredible footballing result. Year 7 girls won their match against Bishop Wand 6-1 yesterday, to maintain their unbeaten season. Player of the match goes to Ellie for scoring all 6 goals. Well done team

A lovely year 8 Maths lesson where students completed treasure hunts on expanding and simplifying 2 sets of brackets or double brackets. Students could pick from 3 different treasure hunts with pink being the easiest and green the hardest. Thank you

We have been learning about the importance of eating fruit and veg to keep healthy and looking at the NHS Eatwell Guide. This helps us understand how to balance our daily intake of different foods so we get everything we need.
It was fantastic to see all our students back today- and to welcome our new years 7s! We've had a really successful day and were very pleased to see how so smart everyone looked following our uniform reminders. We are looking forward to brilliant term ahead of us!
Thank you to all of TKC for your contributions to our Red Nose Day fundraising on Friday. There were some interesting interpretations of our mufti day rules- lots of clothing choices that were red, funny or house colours!
The inflatables are all set up and ready to go for Enrichment Day! Students have already spotted them and are eager to start! Thank you to Airscape Events for their help with today's activities.
Huge thanks to Cupcake Goddess for the delicious treats dropped off today, we busted Mr Cater and Mr Ford sneaking back up to their rooms (is that 2 in your hand Mr Ford?)........

The Globe Players came to TKC to perform for Yrs 8 & 11. Yr 8 received an action packed intro to Shakespeare. Yr 11 had a vital revision performance of An Inspector Calls to get them ready for the forthcoming mocks. TGP commented how sharp & on-the-ball the audience was.
Extremely proud of the Year 11’s who performed yesterday. You represented the Drama Department with professionalism . You have done the school proud. 60% of the GCSE done! Woo! Miss Penycate
Students at TKC recently won a ‘lockdown legend’ award from GCSEPod for being one of the top 10 schools nationally using the service. Well done to everyone for making use of this fantastic resource!
On Friday the 19th March, TKC students paid £1 and dressed in something red, funny or their house colours in support of Red Nose Day. Here are our Year 8s taking part!
Good morning, TKC has had little snowfall following the Met Office alert. School will be open as usual. We will monitor this throughout the day. Please travel safely.
Looking forward to the TKC Art exhibition on the 23rd and 24th of January. An excellent opportunity to showcase the success of our students and also for younger pupils to gain inspiration. Here is a look of some work produced by TKC students.
