Have you had a look behind the knee wall to see what has been put there so far?
You'll likely be limited what you can do, given the rafter height and need for ventilation.
Unless you take out the existing plasterboard and stud the celing out a bit further, sacrificing headroom.
A quick (and minor) win would be an awning for the window and a reflective blind.

Materials sound OK but the details of how it is insulated are crucial and the insulation must be continuous. Judging from the photo the problem is that the pitched roof has not been insulated.

@SimonM
I'm redoing my kids room to insulate it properly, room is a nightmare, cold in winter and roasting in the summer. Considering using a mix of solid insulation board for the vertices and then wool on the inclined ceiling. Am I going down the right route and does anyone have experience of best materials?
