Centred upon a fine Queen Anne country house in 47 acres of parkland and playing fields, York House aims to encourage children to maximise their potential in whatever fields their talents lie. Academic standards are of paramount importance. In addition, within a warm, happy, purposeful atmosphere, children are encouraged also to develop good manners and a responsible, caring attitude to each other. Classrooms are bright and airy; all necessary facilities are to a high standard, not to mention the superb heated indoor 25 metre pool, in use all year round. Music, art and drama play a very important role in the school's carefully balanced, wide curriculum, while a wide range of sports, clubs and societies round off the boys' development. In September 1995 a most successful and attractive Kindergarten was opened for children from 2.5. In September 1997 a new multi-purpose Sports Hall/Theatre will be opened.
