Earswick Primary Schools, Secondary Schools & PreSchools in the York Garrison area

My daughter has been having group lessons here every week for just over a year now and has recently started having private lessons once a week alongside the group lessons. All the staff are friendly, helpful, positive and patient. Would definitely recommend for anybody from complete beginners, to those who are already confident and competent riders.

I gifted my horse to here and she loves it with all her pals. Lol.

My two children (9 and 6) having been having lessons with Rachael for the last few years. Rachael makes the lessons really fun and engages the children with a range of games and techniques. They both love using the iPad to check their note reading skills! Rachael is warm and welcoming and brought out the best in our initially shy little girl. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachael, she is a very skilled teacher. Not to mention the annual Christmas concert which is a highlight in our calendar!

A few years ago I decided I would love to be able to play the piano despite having no previous musical knowledge at all. I booked a lesson with Rachael just to see how I would get on and right from the start I found her lessons really enjoyable and well organised. I have now been attending for a couple of years and am working towards my next grade. Rachael through her positive and encouraging approach enables me to get the best out of the limited time I have without any pressure. Thank you. Adult learner.

If you don’t get your JIMMY NEUTRON looking HEADASS outta my FACE.

A wonderful school, it might not have the look of a fancy new build but it's what is inside that counts! The staff are fantastic, and well led by John Tomsett who comes across as a very dedicated head teacher. The students were welcoming and very sociable, a delight to meet.

Since starting at Explore Learning, my child's confidence and ability has grown dramatically in Literacy. The support and friendliness from all of the staff encourages the children to want to learn and my son now asks for help if he has a question when he wouldn't in school. Thank you so much to all the staff for their hard work, keep up the good work.

Before starting at Explore my son was worried about going to school on days that Maths was being taught. He had no confidence and wouldn't raise his hand in class for fear of being wrong. Since starting explore 18 months ago,and having tutors who have time to listen and explain clearly ,in a friendly and welcoming manner ,he has grown into a confident ,well rounded young man who now loves maths lessons in school. He got great marks in his sats ,and has worked his way into the top maths class in his year,using the strategies taught to him by the tutors at Explore.. His latest report ,and expected attainment level is now way above average, across the board. I would recommend Explore to anyone who asked and need to say a huge thank you to the wonderful tutors who work there.They make learning fun and exciting, the way it should be .
