Fyling Hall is an independent co-educational day and boarding school situated near the small village of Fylingthorpe, near Robin Hood's Bay, 7 miles (11 km) south east of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1923 by Mab Bradley, the school was then run for thirty years by her daughter, Clare White. The school is centred on a Georgian country house that dates from 1810 and is situated in 45 acres (180,000 m²) of wooded hillside within the North York Moors National Park.

History of Hall

There was a hall here in 1632 when Sir Hugh Cholmeley, 4th Baronet was born here. However the present building dates from around 1810.

Boarding Houses

There are four boarding houses at Fyling Hall:

Woodside: Sixth Form Girls
Ramsdale: Sixth Form Boys
Main: Junior and Senior Girls
Mulgrave: Junior and Senior Boys

School motto

The school motto is 'The days that make us happy make us wise' (John Masefield)

Sports

Fyling Hall School offers a wide variety of sports for all pupils. Most important amongst these, and shaping daily life at Fyling Hall, are rugby, hockey, cross country, cricket, horse riding and rounders.

Trivia

The main building of Fyling Hall is used in G.P Taylor's novel Shadowmancer as the vicarage of Obadiah Demurral. The vicarage is destroyed by cannon fire from Jacob Crane's smuggler ship 'The Magenta'.
