About Ampleforth College

Ampleforth College is a co-educational independent day and boarding school in the village of Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, England. It opened in 1802 as a boys’ school, and is run by the Benedictine monks and lay staff[1]:1 of Ampleforth Abbey. The school is in a valley with sports pitches, wooded areas and lakes. Its affiliated preparatory school, St Martin’s Ampleforth, is across the valley at Gilling Castle.

The Good Schools Guide called the school an “Unfailingly civilised and understanding top co-educational boarding Catholic school that has suffered from time to time as a result of its long liberal tradition.” The Guide adds also that there is “A refreshing openness and honesty about the place these days.”[10]

Though originally a boys’ school the college is now fully co-educational. In 2009 an OFSTED Social Care report said that the overall quality of care was outstanding;[14] in 2013 it was deemed “excellent”.[1]:9
