Our ethos &
values

We are a day and boarding Christian foundation that is academic and inclusive and a family school whose togetherness, care for each other and pride in our community is evident in our outstanding pastoral provision. At the very heart of our ethos lie our Values and Virtues; they drive all that we do at Pocklington and mean our students leave with a strong sense of personal and social responsibility, along with the ability to shape their own future.

The Pocklington Values of Courage, Truth and Trust, along with the nine Virtues which underpin them, are embedded in every aspect of Pocklington School life to sustain, inspire and galvanise the whole School community.
