Want to know a little more about our school? This is what a few members of our community have to say about our happy, supportive and successful school.
“Cundall has something that is hard to describe – there’s an energy about the school, a huge sense of fun, of adventure, combined with truly superb teaching and a culture that is about caring – not paying lip service to it, but a really kind and happy place.”
Parent of Cundall Manor Pupil
“Cundall is giving our children a solid foundation alongside their home life to become kind, responsible young adults, thirsty for knowledge, excited about learning and most importantly very, very happy children. I have recommended Cundall to so many friends who now share our enthusiasm for this very special school.”
Father of two boys and a girl, Main School
“I cannot stress enough how delighted I am with the Nursery & Pre Prep at Cundall. My son went to Cundall to the Nursery from aged 2 ½ and he was very shy. Nursery transformed him into a very confident outgoing little boy, bringing the best out of him.”
Father of boy, Pre Prep
“The opportunities the children have at Cundall are endless from riding to gymnastics, swimming to gardening club, they can try everything and are encouraged to try all the different activities. The teachers really have a great way of bringing out the best in every child.”
Parent of Cundall Manor Pupil
“There is such a lovely atmosphere in and around the school and all the children are so polite and courteous.”
Mother of two boys, Pre Prep
“Armed with her Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, an expedition to India and 12 great GCSEs our daughter left Cundall a self-assured and confident young woman to go on to board for sixth form.”
Parent of Cundall Manor Pupil
“Now in her final year at university, she still meets up with old friends from Cundall and shares many fond memories.”
Parent of Cundall Manor Pupil
“Our son is severely dyslexic but with outstanding encouragement and support he left Cundall with 11 GCSEs. He has now embarked on a degree in astrophysics. His time at Cundall helped him to find his own feet within the school community. He loved all the school has to offer and enjoyed ski trips, sailing courses, outdoor education and of course all the team sports.”
Mother of a girl and a boy, Alumni
“There’s a lovely eccentricity at this school where you can’t help leaving the premises without a smile on your face. All the children are encouraged to take part in all activities, whether they excel at them or not. No one is made to feel uncomfortable or different. There’s a profound sense that each child is taught as an individual here and, whilst most schools pay lip service to this ethos, I believe Cundall delivers this wholeheartedly.”
Parent of Cundall Manor Pupil
“Elsewhere, there’s a super supportive philosophy embedded in the school’s pastoral care so pupils feel that there’s always someone looking out for their well-being.”
Mother of a girl and a boy, Main School
I can honestly tell you that if someone had said that you could design your own school for your children we would have designed Cundall.
The range of activitie and opportunities offered to our children are fabulous and we have 2 children who enjoy going to school every day, have a wonderful set of friends and are thriving.
We feel very fortunate to have found this gem of school in North Yorkshire.

Cundall children are secure in who they are as individuals and grab every opportunity open to them, they have truly learnt “nothing ventured nothing gained”
Mother of a Prep & Senior School children
The school’s greatest strength is the dedication of the staff, the small class sizes which allows individual attention and the daily desire to think outside the box.
This school prepares children for the current world while still allowing a real childhood in idyllic surroundings.
