YORK BOARDING SCHOOLS GROUP: A HOME AWAY FROM HOME IN “GOD’S OWN COUNTRY”
The York Boarding Schools Group is a network and marketing association whose members include a select cadre of outstanding boarding schools from across the historic county of Yorkshire in the north of England, but mainly centered around the county’s ceremonial capital city of York. Its member schools offer a variety of educational opportunities, accepting boarders at primary and/or secondary level. The association was founded in 1995 as a means of encouraging networking between member schools and to develop a collective approach to marketing and promotion of those schools and the benefits of boarding in Yorkshire and the attractiveness of York.
ABOUT
The York Boarding Schools Group (YBSG) is, predominantly, a promotion agency for its member schools and advocating for boarding schools in the region, similar to other such groups including Oxford Boarding. However, the network also come together regularly to participate in training opportunities for faculty and academic, artistic and athletic competition amongst their pupils. The secretariat of the York Boarding Schools Group also convenes events and activities celebrating the region for pupils at member schools to take advantage of. Similarly, the group also organises events for prospective families under the YBSG header and with attending representatives from the various member schools.
The YBSG membership reflects the broad mix of boarding schools available in the Yorkshire area, with a diverse mix of faith-based schools (including Anglican, Quaker and Roman Catholic) and non-faith schools, single-sex and co-educational schools and boarding preparatory schools and secondary schools in the English Public School tradition. Thus, a pupil may board from age 8 through to age 18 at a YBSG member school. All of the member schools are accredited members of the Boarding Schools Association (BSA) and, as such, are also members of the Independent Schools Council (ISC) and subject to inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
Many of the YBSG schools are amongst the best known, historic and celebrated schools in England. Indeed many are known internationally as centres of academic excellence and the arbiter of the Public School tradition for which English boarding schools are so renowned.
