A school foundation has launched a new long-term strategy to prepare pupils for a rapidly changing future.
Pocklington School Foundation’s ‘Towards 2040’ plan aims to build life skills, digital confidence, and character alongside academic achievement.
The 500-year-old institution, founded in 1514, plans to further enhance opportunities beyond the classroom.
Becky Lovelock, head of Pocklington School Foundation, said: "Our history stretches back over five centuries of innovation, giving us an extraordinary foundation on which to build.
"Our priority has always been to the young people in our care – not just today, but over the years and decades to come."
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, including Digital Horizons to boost digital literacy and Adventure Ready to develop resilience and life skills.
Other initiatives include Game On, Safe Harbour at Pock, the Parent Experience, and Connected Futures.
Angela White, director of marketing, admissions and communications, said: "Towards 2040 has been shaped by the people who know our Foundation best – our students, parents, staff, and Old Pocklingtonians."
