About York College

York College is a large state sixth-form and further education provider in York, open to students aged 16 to 99, and it is heavily oversubscribed: the school does not provide a parent recommendation percentage in its data, but its admissions ratio signals strong local demand. The college is led by headteacher Ken Merry and has no religious character. With a mixed gender intake and a broad age range, it functions as both a school sixth form and an adult education centre. The college offers an extensive set of facilities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, astro turf, a chapel, and a dedicated sixth form centre, alongside a wide array of clubs such as orchestra, Model UN, coding, and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Sports on offer include hockey, rowing, cricket, and badminton, giving students plenty of extracurricular options beyond the classroom.
