Schools in Knutsford

A compact Cheshire market town of around 13,000, Knutsford occupies the flat Cheshire Plain between the Peak District hills to the east and the Welsh mountains to the west. Tatton Park anchors one end of the narrow King Street, the historic axis that runs through the town centre alongside Princess Street.

Bexton and Lower Peover are among the most sought-after village catchments for primary places in this part of Cheshire East, with families from across the Golden Triangle competing for available spaces. Over Peover is a quieter rural option nearby. Mid-Cheshire Line trains reach Manchester Piccadilly in around forty minutes.
