Schools in Driffield

Self-styled 'Capital of the Wolds', Driffield is the principal market town for the East Riding of Yorkshire's chalk upland, drawing businesses and families from outlying villages for centuries. Around 13,000 people live within the parish today.

Kilham, a village set on the open Wolds to the north, is among the sought-after pockets for primary catchments, while Driffield itself serves as the school-competitive centre for the wider area. Nafferton and Brandesburton lie to the south and east, adding to the network of villages whose families feed into Driffield's schools. The town was listed among the Sunday Times Best Places to Live in northern England in 2019, and rail services on the Yorkshire Coast Line connect Driffield to Hull in around thirty minutes.
