An Ampleforth education is a “Compass for Life”. We educate the whole person, unlocking what they can contribute to the world and fulfilling their academic potential. Within our welcoming community, rooted in Benedictine values, individuals’ interests and strengths are discovered and nurtured.
Set in a stunning valley in North Yorkshire
Set in acres of beautiful English countryside, we are a full boarding school with a rich and varied programme of activities every day including at weekends. We offer a wide range of GCSE, A Level, and BTEC subjects and an educational approach that encourages a love of learning and independence of mind.
Boarding at Ampleforth
Our 8 boarding houses - 3 for girls, 4 for boys, and a Junior House for Years 7 & 8 - are real homes where children form lifelong friendships. Escorted school trains provide easy access from York to London / Edinburgh in under 2 hours - and there is a minibus service for day students.
