Alderman Knight School is a mixed special school located in Tewkesbury in the English county of Gloucestershire.The school is named after Frank Knight, a former Mayor of Tewkesbury.[1]

It is a community school administered by Gloucestershire County Council, and accepts pupils aged four to sixteen from mainly the Tewkesbury and North Cotswolds area but from other areas as the need arises.[2]
