Services
Selby Abbey Church National School opened in 1858. The present buildings, which still form the core of our town centre site, were founded in 1896 to provide "Church teaching for the Church's Children." In the 1870's the master of the Abbey school was reported as overworked. He, along with the help of a pupil teacher, taught between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty children in six groups.
Our vision is to create a happy school family where all children and staff become the very best they can be within the context of Christian belief, practice and values. Children in our school will develop enquiring minds, respect for themselves, others and the environment, resilience and adaptability to flourish.
North Star and Polaris formed a unique partnership in 2016 to support school improvement across North Yorkshire and work with around 70 primary schools in the region. Our collective aim is to improve outcomes for all children through a self-sustaining, dynamic system of school improvement and support across North Yorkshire and beyond.
The Club is open from 8.00am to 8.55am each school day, for children at this school. We offer a healthy breakfast and indoor activities in which the children can participate if they wish to do so. We aim to offer a caring, safe and relaxing environment for the children. There is a small charge for this service.
