Woldgate College is a school and sixth form college on Kilnwick Road in Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The Headteacher is Mr. J. Bower. Around 1400 pupils attend the college. The school was also awarded specialist status and received a grant for developments in the area of "Performing Arts". A new music block was built, with hi-tech equipment such as a recording studio, a dance studio, over 300 computers and numerous practice rooms. Its library (Independent Learning Centre - ILC) has been converted into a room for homework help and computer access. The RE rooms as they were from 1972-94 are now a gymnasium, containing the very latest in keep-fit equipment. The school went on strike on 30th June 2011. This resulted in school years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to remain at home where as year 12 were entitled to enter the school. This was due to a shortage of staff as many went on strike. See here for more information on the strike. The school gained notoriety in 2003 when a group of youths committed an arson attack against the technology building.
