Pocklington School

The Pocklington Campaign for an Art and Design Centre is an excellent example of how a relatively small independent school, strongly rooted in its local community, can raise a substantial capital sum to enable a major development which otherwise could not have happened, whilst also celebrating a major anniversary (its Quincentenary) through which it was able substantially to strengthen school and relationships.

As planned, the campaign was effectively put on hold during the celebratory year, 2014, in order not to detract from the celebrations and recommenced in 2015, with the public phase of the campaign launching in April. At the time of writing it has now raised £1.8 million.
