As this traditional boarding school, set in the Yorkshire Dales, evolves and adapts to the 21st century, (it went co-ed in 2024) it takes forward the best of its traditions and values. Manners and kindness are blended with all the ingredients to create a magical childhood; ‘muddy knees are worn with pride’! Its long tradition of academic ambition, ensures pupils are regularly awarded scholarships to prestigious British boarding schools both nearby such as Ampleforth, or further afield such as Rugby. Such is the affinity with Rugby and their longstanding connection that Aysgarth has recently become part of the Rugby group.
