Fyling Hall School was established in 1923 and is one of the oldest recognised co-educational schools in the country. It is situated on the coast within the North York Moors National Park where the pupils may safely enjoy freedom. The School has its own ponies, and riding, sailing, ACF and Duke of Edinburgh are all popular. The School motto is 'The days that make us happy make us wise' and the aim is to make learning both enjoyable and rewarding.
The buildings centre on a Georgian country house in landscaped gardens with additions for kitchens, Dining Room and modern classrooms to cater for Science, Computer Studies and the demands of the ever expanding exam syllabus.
Fyling Hall is a closely knit society with a real sense of communal responsibility and a wide range of ability in each age group; the chief feature is a spirit of confidence and co-operation between staff and pupils in an atmosphere which is natural for growth. Many of the pupils stay to join the VIth form, where privilege and responsibility present a balance and are a useful preparation for university life.
There is no entrance examination but an interview is an integral part of admission. Academic standards are high, but other abilities are valued and aided by the small size of classes it is hoped that all pupils can be encouraged to achieve their maximum potential.
