What The Good Schools Guide says..
Benedictine sense of togetherness and ‘anti-me’ culture encourages compassion and understanding. The integrity of a boarding mix is guarded fiercely here to create a real sense of school community. School day ends at 5.35pm for all; a longish day but includes prep time and plenty of extracurricular activities. Boarders come from all over UK; southern pupils catch a Hogwarts Express at the beginning of term: it is (just) possible to enjoy breakfast in London and lunch in school.

Special Education Needs
St. Martin's Ampleforth seeks to be inclusive as far as it is possible. The school is located in a Grade One listed Castle so physical disabilities would be difficult to accommodate comfortably.
