Getting To The School

From the City Centre:
Take the A19 (Bootham) from Bootham Bar (this is just over 5 minutes walk from the railway station. The entrance of St. Olave's School can be found by turning left down Queen Anne Road (immediately before St. Peter's School) and following the road around to the right.

From the A64:
Take the Northern Ring Road (A1237). At the fourth roundabout turn right along the A19 (towards the City Centre - Bootham). St. Peter's School is 2 miles on the right, 400 metres after Clifton Green. There is a footbridge over the road to this school. Take the first turning on the right after the footbridge, to turn down Queen Anne Road. Follow the road down and to the right to find the entrance to St. Olave's School.

Parking:
There is limited parking outside the school, but a large car park is available nearby. Two turnings nearer the town centre than Queen Anne Road (same side) is a street called Marygate. Drive down Marygate (towards the river Ouse), and turn right just before the Bay Horse pub. Here you will find Marygate car park.

A shortcut from here to get to the school is as follows. With the car park entrance on your right walk forwards to the top of the car park, and then turn left to go through a little tunnel under the York - Sacrborough railway line.
