Recognised in Independent School of the Year Awards

We are delighted to share that Cundall Manor has been recognised in the Independent School of the Year Awards 2026, having been shortlisted in the Co-educational Independent School of the Year category.

We are incredibly proud to be the only independent school in North Yorkshire to be recognised this year and one of just three schools across the North to feature in this category.

This recognition reflects what makes Cundall Manor such a special place. From outstanding academic achievement to a Character Curriculum that encourages every pupil to discover their passions, our children benefit from an education that is about so much more than exam results.

Whether pupils are taking part in sailing voyages, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, downhill go-kart racing, performing on stage, representing their county and country in sport, or discovering new interests through enrichment activities every opportunity is designed to build confidence, resilience and character.

At Cundall Manor, boys and girls grow up learning, competing and celebrating success together. Small class sizes, exceptional pastoral care and a culture where every child is known and encouraged to embrace new challenges ensure pupils leave not only with excellent academic outcomes, but with the confidence and self-belief to thrive in whatever comes next.

We are immensely proud of our pupils, staff and wider school community, whose enthusiasm, commitment and support have helped make this recognition possible.

We now look forward to hearing the finalists announced in September.
