Education
Tadcaster has three Primary Schools (serving ages 5–11) and one Secondary School (ages 11–18). In the Summer 1999 League Tables, Tadcaster Grammar School students obtained the best A Level results in the country for a state comprehensive school. There is also an adult education centre, co-located with the Grammar School.
In the past, Tadcaster served the Wetherby/Tadcaster area with a grammar school, while the Secondary Modern was at Wetherby (what is now Wetherby High School). Since Wetherby is now part of the City of Leeds and Tadcaster is part of the District of Selby, it has become difficult to arrange for pupils to be educated on the opposite side of the border line from the one on which they live.
