"A great all-rounder in York"

Our son has really thrived at Archbishop Holgate's since starting here. The teachers are supportive and the school's emphasis on Christian values has been a great influence on his character. There are some challenges with the school's facilities, but overall we're very pleased with the education he's receiving.

"Exceptional teaching and care"

We've been blown away by the level of care and attention our daughter has received at Archbishop Holgate's. The teachers are passionate and knowledgeable, and the school's small size means that every child feels valued and supported. If you're looking for a school that will genuinely make your child feel loved and prepared for life, this is the place to send them.
