"Listen with the ear of your heart" St Benedict
At Ampleforth College, we educate the whole child, mind, body, and spirit. Every child is a gift and getting to know them well, supporting and encouraging them to flourish as individuals and bring their own unique attributes to our community and the world beyond, is central to our mission.
Music
Music is at the heart of Ampleforth, above all in the Abbey Church, but also all around the campus and beyond. Over the years an ever-widening diversity of instrumental and choral music has developed, and more recently that experience has been shared with children and adults beyond the valley.
Performing Arts
The Drama Department is a living, breathing organism at Ampleforth. A flurry with actors, directors, dancers, technicians, stage managers, artists and academics, there is something for everybody here.
Sport
Ampleforth's long tradition of sporting excellence gives us the experience required to maximise every student’s potential, regardless of the level of sport they play. To help achieve this, we offer outstanding facilities, regular contact time with each student, and an exceptional team of coaches.
Academic
Ampleforth promotes academic excellence by finding the best in every pupil. We encourage each student to realise their full academic potential, to have high expectations of themselves and to work hard to realise those ambitions in a supportive environment. This challenge is created by a full, comprehensive range of subjects, high calibre teaching and first-class facilities for learning.
