Knights Templar School is located in the market town of Baldock in North Hertfordshire. In a February 2006 OFSTED report, the school was described as "outstanding", one of only eight secondary schools in Hertfordshire to be so recognised. [1] [2] [3]

[edit] History

The Knights Templar School opened in 1939 and since that time has seen several new buildings and ever increasing pupil numbers, leading to oversubscription every year. The school claims no connection with the Masonic order of Knights Templars or The Da Vinci Code – rather, it is named after the chivalrous medieval order of the Knights Templar, who founded Baldock and built the original 12th century parish church of St Mary the Virgin.[4] in the town.

The school's popular Headmaster, Mr Peter Chapman, retired in 2006.
