Woldgate School was built in the 1950s and educates pupils from Pocklington and its surrounding villages, which forms a large, mainly rural catchment area.

The school was awarded specialist status and received a grant for developing performing arts. A new music block was built, which included a recording studio, practice rooms and a dance studio.

The school teaching is under the National Curriculum, and includes a Sixth Form.

Facilities include a dedicated Sixth Form study room and more than 800 computers, with a library and an Independent Learning Centre used for homework assistance and computer access. Other facilities are a gymnasium, a multi-use hall, fitness suite, tennis/netball courts, and a playing field used for football, rugby and athletics.
