Day students can travel to school via bus or train from across York, Leeds and Harrogate.
Beautiful fields and rolling hills surround our school. Situated in the countryside, we are fortunate to be near three popular towns in the North. Choose to travel from the Viking city of York, the spa town of Harrogate and the cultural city of Leeds.
