LAUNCH OF THE JOHN DOLMAN SOCIETY
At Pocklington School we are deeply grateful to our benefactors and donors who have , over many years , supported the School . From those who so enthusiastically helped us celebrate our Quincentenary in 2014 , to those who gave so generously to enable us to build the Art and Design Technology Centre and those who have given gifts to help pupils excel both in and out of the classroom . Their support has been extraordinary .
In order to officially recognise this generosity , we have created the John
1514 Legacy Club
