Pocklington School Information

Pocklington in an inclusive, family focused and academic day and boarding school that offers incredible experiences inside and outside the classroom for children aged 2-18 years. From Prep School, which nurtures children's natural curiosity, imagination and enthusiasm for learning, to the Sixth Form, where independent thought is prized, our pupils are encouraged to be resilient, resourceful learners. Pocklington School lies 12 miles east of York in a rural setting on the edge of a vibrant, friendly market town. The 50-acre campus houses extensive facilities which includes a 300-seat theatre, £3m Art and Design Technology Centre, and indoor sports hall, conditioning room and swimming pool, plus 21-acres of grass sports pitches and two full-sized synthetic pitches. The school was founded in 1514 and has retained its strong tradition of encouraging pupils to have the courage to take chances with learning and always remain true to themselves. We aim to instil the Pocklington Values and Virtues into all of our pupils, to engage with our families and support them in raising the Pocklingtonians of tomorrow and to be open to innovation, conscious of tradition and so secure our Foundation's future. If you are considering an independent education for your child, please call our Admissions Officer on 01759 321200 and arrange a visit.
