The bar area to the right of the main door was once the
Headmistress' study; and the area to the left was a visitors'
waiting room. Every lunchtime, the dining area would be alive with
chatter, because this was the culinary heart of York College for Girls:
the school refectory! The landscaped gardens, meanwhile, used to be the College playground - a tarmaced area for volleyball and games use.

In the restaurant area, reception and waiting area you will find various items of school memorabilia, including photos, records, cuttings and even books written by former pupils. La Vecchia Sculoa is a tribute to a vibrant past.
