Our Place
Our Past
For more than five centuries, Pocklington School has been shaping young lives through education grounded in strong values, high aspirations and a deep sense of community. Founded in 1514 by John Dolman, Pocklington School has evolved into the Foundation it is today through generations of social, educational and technological change, whilst remaining true to its core purpose: to help young people flourish. Throughout its history, Pocklington has balanced tradition with innovation, embracing new opportunities whilst preserving the character and spirit that define it.
Our Present
Today, the Pocklington School Foundation is a thriving and inclusive community where every individual is known, valued and encouraged to flourish. Serving children and young people from Little Pips through to Prep and Senior and on to Sixth Form, we combine academic ambition with outstanding pastoral care and a rich co-curricular experience. Guided by our values of Courage, Truth and Trust, we nurture character as intentionally as achievement.
Our Future
This is an exciting time for the Pocklington School Foundation. We are a dedicated and motivated learning community, located in beautiful countryside and able to offer a truly holistic education. Our educational offering builds character and mental wellbeing alongside rigorous academic development, whilst allowing our pupils to find their passion and follow it.
Over the coming years, a series of carefully planned innovations will further enhance our educational offering, sharpening our distinctiveness and strengthening our position as the school of choice for families seeking an exceptional all-round education in the North of England.
