The Knights Templar School is a co-educational secondary school with academy status located in the market town of Baldock in North Hertfordshire, England. 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] It retained its "outstanding" status following a further Ofsted inspection in February 2009.[4] The Knights Templar School gained academy status on 1 April 2011. Following an Ofsted inspection in October 2012 the school was categorised as "good"[5] against a newer, far more demanding Inspection framework.
In September 2019 the school celebrated its 80th anniversary.
