Pocklington School Foundation has launched a long-term strategy to prepare pupils for a rapidly changing future.
Pocklington School Foundation has launched a new long-term strategy called 'Towards 2040' to prepare pupils for a rapidly changing future. The 500-year-old institution, founded in 1514, aims to build life skills, digital confidence and character alongside academic achievement, with plans to further enhance opportunities beyond the classroom.
The strategy is named for the year pupils starting in Reception in 2026 will complete Sixth Form. It focuses on five priorities: academic advancement, individual growth, character formation, community partnership and operational excellence. Six key initiatives form part of the plan: Digital Horizons to boost digital literacy, Adventure Ready to develop resilience and life skills, Game On, Safe Harbour at Pock, the Parent Experience and Connected Futures.
Becky Lovelock, head of Pocklington School Foundation, said the institution's five-century history of innovation provides 'an extraordinary foundation on which to build', and that the priority remains 'the young people in our care'. Angela White, director of marketing, admissions and communications, said the plan 'has been shaped by the people who know our Foundation best – our students, parents, staff, and Old Pocklingtonians'.
