We know how important it is to visit in person and meet our staff and pupils when choosing the right school for your child. At Pocklington School, an independent day and boarding school in East Yorkshire, we warmly invite you to attend an open morning, take a tour of our campus, or arrange a personal visit so you can experience life at the school for yourself.
Open Events at Pocklington School
We hold an Open Event each term. Our October Open Morning takes place on a Saturday and includes a presentation from our Head, as well as tours of our Schools and boarding houses, other key staff are available to answer any questions you have about the various aspects of the school.
Our March and June Open Events take place during the school week. These offer the perfect opportunity to see the School on a normal working day, meet the Head and staff and enjoy a student-guided tour around our spacious 50-acre campus and extensive facilities, including a visit to our well-appointed boarding houses.
Our next Open Morning will take place on Thursday 12th March 2026. This is for the whole school from Prep to Sixth Form.
You are very welcome to visit anytime. To arrange a visit, click the link below to book or if you have any questions, please contact our Admissions Team or call Alison Ruddick.
Arranging an
individual visit
Prospective parents and their children are very welcome to visit the School along with other relatives, including grandparents. We recommend visiting on a normal school day during the term if possible to enable you to meet the staff and pupils. If this is not possible, visits can be arranged during the school holidays.
A typical visit to Pocklington School includes a meeting with the Head, a guided tour of the campus, and, where appropriate, a visit to a boarding house. Depending on the timing, you may also have the opportunity to join a member of staff for lunch. Visits can be tailored to your interests and needs, and you can arrange meetings with specific staff members in advance. If you have any special requirements, please let us know when booking, and we will be happy to accommodate them.
