Welcome

We are a thriving independent school situated on a magnificent 28-acre site in an idyllic part of North Yorkshire. Cundall pupils enjoy fresh air and plenty of room in which to learn, play and enjoy their childhood.

Cundall embraced co-education in the 1980s. Our staff therefore have significant experience in managing the education of boys and girls through the challenging phases of their adolescence so that they are well prepared and adjusted for life beyond the school gates.

A Cundall education is holistic and character-based with an equal focus on the academic, active and creative. Our small class sizes enable us to challenge and support each other as we build our best future. Our vision is to be a school where pupils thrive and flourish as they experience the excitement and enjoyment of learning. We guide pupils towards reaching their full potential as passionate and innovative problem solvers, ready to contribute to society.  At Cundall Manor, children can be strong and sure of who they are and what they can achieve. They can be ambitious and brave, unafraid of failure. Our children can be enterprising, inventive and playful whilst being confident, thoughtful, inquisitive and supportive of each other. Our extensive grounds, green spaces and woodlands foster exploration and discovery whether it is during Outdoor Education, break times or when we take learning outside of the classroom. Children develop sporting excellence through an extensive timetable as they transition through the school. Alongside daily dedicated Enrichment time, pupils are encouraged to explore their interests, build confidence and are afforded time to develop their strengths. We are a close-knit community, and we are proud of our family atmosphere. Our pupils feel supported and valued, and we have always been fortunate to have such a dedicated supportive parent body alongside a committed team of teaching staff and governors, who all make Cundall the warm, vibrant, and inclusive school it is.

The school social calendar allows for ample opportunities for parents to feel part of their children’s Cundall education. Throughout the year there are parent evenings and formal and informal reports about your child’s progress. Teachers are on hand at all times to meet with parents. A weekly newsletter offers a flavour of the wide range of activities being enjoyed across the school. We take particular pride in the outstanding reputation that Cundall Manor enjoys and our impressive academic results. Our pupils are therefore well prepared for the next stage of their academic and personal development. We encourage all families considering Cundall Manor to come and visit our highly distinctive school and find out for yourself why educating your child the Cundall way is so special.
