The specialist Day Pupils’ Centre has direct access from outside. All Q.E. day pupils have use of the Centre as a base. Overnight accommodation is available in boarding houses in case of parental business trips, bad weather etc. and facilities are of the highest standard.

The Centre includes lockers, payphones and cloakroom. The common room has a 20-channel TV/video and comfortable seating while the work area is well equipped with multimedia Pentium computers. There is a space for day pupils who are joining an evening trip or outing to change, shower, wash and dry their hair.

The Collegiate has its own transport arrangements for day students. A fleet of minibuses serving the surrounding area is fully equipped with seat belts.

Many of those pupils travelling from York and Harrogate use the train to Cattal station rather than travel on busy main roads. The large contingent of pupils from York find the 20-minute journey to school as easy as going to one in the city but with the added attractions of a rural setting and 100-acre site.

Our main car park includes a pick up/set down point for pupils being brought by car and facilities are provided for parents to wait at the end of the school day.
