The Scarborough College Company was founded in 1896 as a boarding school for boys. In 1972, it opened its doors to female students and presently educates approximately 565 pupils. It has delivered the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) within the Sixth Form since June 2006.
The campus is situated only 15 minutes from the beach in the South Cliff area and the College enjoys excellent facilities.

Values and Vision
Above all, our commitment is to discover and fully realise every child’s potential by ensuring that all pupils are seen as individuals whose specific needs are recognised and met. We are dedicated to providing a far-reaching education that goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom, underpinned by strong lifelong values, which inspires academic excellence and ensures pupils are challenged. Regular opportunities to understand their own capabilities through exposure to a broad range of sporting, cultural and creative activities, widens our pupils’ horizons and builds their self‑confidence. Within our outward-facing, grounded and caring community the relationships that exist nurture tolerant, honest and compassionate people who will make a genuine difference in their futures beyond the confines of our school.
Ofsted
“Pupils achieve well in a school that they like. Pupils make good progress in the EYFS, the prep school and the senior school. Results in the GCSE, which have generally improved over recent years, show that pupils make good progress and sixth form pupils also attain good results in the International Baccalaureate (IB). Factors contributing to the pupils’ achievement are the very good attitudes to work which pupils bring to the classroom and the good teaching they receive.”
