The school is set in a valley with sports pitches, wooded areas, and lakes, and has the oldest purpose-built school theatre in the United Kingdom, a dedicated student pub, and its own infirmary. The school has received national attention for significant safeguarding failures. St Laurence Educational Trust and the Ampleforth Abbey Trust are responsible for running Ampleforth College.
