About York High School

York High School is one of 11 state secondary schools in the York local authority, a mixed, non-denominational school for pupils aged 11 to 16. It currently has 748 pupils on roll. In the local landscape, it sits behind three top-performing peers: Fulford School, All Saints Catholic School York, and Manor Church of England Academy. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is All Saints Catholic School York, just 2.3 kilometres away. York High itself holds a Good rating from its most recent inspection, placing it in the solid middle tier of the city’s secondary provision. With four Outstanding schools in the local authority, competition for the top rating is stiff, but York High’s Good grade reflects consistent quality. The school is led by headteacher Gavin Kumar and offers a broad range of facilities including a swimming pool, gymnasium, sports hall, science labs, and an ICT suite, alongside clubs such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, debate, and coding.
