Sport and the Performing Arts
Playing sport is an essential part of every boy’s education at Knox.Through sport our students learn about teamwork, mental fitness, fair play and how to deal with loss as well as success.
Extensive music, drama and performance activities are offered at Knox to expand and challenge students in all year groups. Every student has opportunities to learn a musical instrument, play in an ensemble or take part in a drama production.
And after more than two years' construction work, the Junior Academy and Performing Arts Centre (JAPAC) is now open for our students to enjoy!
