It educates approximately 1,100 pupils aged 11 to 18. Until 2017, the school was Local Authority funded, but became an Academy in January 2017 and is now part of a multi-academy trust, The Wolds Learning Partnership.[1] It was rated 'Good' in its last Ofsted inspection.[2]
Woldgate School was built in the 1950s and educates pupils from Pocklington and its surrounding villages, which forms a large, mainly rural catchment area.
The school was awarded specialist status and received a grant for developing performing arts. A new music block was built, which included a recording studio, practice rooms and a dance studio.
The school teaching is under the National Curriculum, and includes a Sixth Form.
Facilities include a dedicated Sixth Form study room and more than 800 computers, with a library and an Independent Learning Centre used for homework assistance and computer access.
