Pocklington School Pocklington School gives children the best start by firing their enthusiasm for learning through an excellent all-round education focused on the individual. We now welcome three-year-olds to our relaxed, warm <strong>and</strong> nurturing Pre-Prep, which follows the Early Years Foundation Stage <strong>and</strong> is rich with opportunities to play <strong>and</strong> socialise. Small class sizes <strong>and</strong> the fact we hold no external SATs exams allow us to offer pupils individual support as they progress at their own pace. Skilled <strong>and</strong> dedicated staff inspire them to think for themselves, work happily in teams, make connections between subject areas – <strong>and</strong> have fun exploring their interests <strong>and</strong> strengths. As pupils prepare to move up to Pocklington School, we gently stretch, challenge <strong>and</strong> support their progress towards more indepth study, as well as their personal journey towards fulfilling their potential inside <strong>and</strong> outside the classroom. A vibrant co-curricular programme runs throughout the school, supported by facilities including a 300-seat theatre, an indoor sports hall <strong>and</strong> swimming pool, 21 acres of grass sports pitches <strong>and</strong> two full-sized synthetic pitches. A strong commitment to pastoral care underpins our aim of inspiring pupils for life, so they leave Pocklington School aged 18 as confident, capable <strong>and</strong> respectful adults ready to make their mark. Hull Collegiate School Hull Collegiate School is an independent, co-educational day school for pupils aged 3 to 18. Based on the country house estate of Tranby Croft on the outskirts of West Hull, the single-site school offers a first-class education with outst<strong>and</strong>ing teaching provision. Our ethos of ‘the best in everyone’ is reflected in the diverse range of talents <strong>and</strong> skills which are nurtured in our pupils, ensuring that everyone reaches his or her full potential.

As a Quaker School, pupils are encouraged to look past the impressive facilities to the world beyond <strong>and</strong> to live adventurous lives that will serve to create a better world.
