Pocklington 500

In 2014 it will be 500 years since John Dolman a lawyer and clergyman established his guild in the parish to support the poor and provide a school on the site of the present school. It is remarkable for a school to have a 500 year history, but few can equal a continuous history on the same site.

Over the next few years, as we approach this historical landmark we will be organising a number of social and other events to mark this momentous occasion. We hope as many people as possible will join in our 500th Birthday celebrations by attending one or more events. Whatever past or present association you have with the school, you will be most welcome.

Details of forthcoming events, news, bitesize articles on the history of the school and more can be accessed by clicking the buttons on the right. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Dawes
Deputy Head
