Carterknowle Junior School staff make a talented and dedicated team, who are committed to helping each and every child. Staff work in partnership with Holt House Infant School staff to ensure excellent continuity and progression from infant to junior school.

You can contact your child’s teacher in a variety of ways: writing in the home/school diary,  seeing one of the staff members on duty, attending a school event, sending an email, writing a note or telephoning.  All contact details can be accessed from the ‘contact us’ tab.
