Pocklington 500 - Project Archive 1514 Appeal

Securing and Celebrating our Heritage

It is extremely pleasing to report that the Project Archive 1514 appeal has reached its target of £50,000.  It is now full steam ahead to complete the building work on the archive room and open the new facility.  Mark Ronan, Headmaster, said “I am delighted that we have achieved the target and the school is very grateful to all those who have made donations to the appeal or supported our fundraising events.”  Angie Edwards, Librarian and Archivist, is now in the process of preparing the archive material for the move across to its new home.   “It is very exciting that the archive will finally have a proper storage and display area and I look forward to welcoming visitors to the new archive room when it opens,” commented Angie. 

It is anticipated that the archive will be officially opened sometime in the Lent term.  The Project Archive 1514 appeal is now closed and the school would again like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support in bringing this project to fruition.  Any enquiries relating to the archive appeal or other ways of supporting the school should be directed to Rachel Dare in the first instance darer@pocklingtonschool.com.
