About Yarm Preparatory School
Since Yarm School’s foundation in 1978 it has become one of the best schools in the North East. Our academic results and facilities are outstanding but we offer so much more than an excellent academic education: we firmly believe in educating for life.
A Yarm School education starts at three years of age as pupils enter our Pre-School and continues through the Pre-Prep and Prep Schools to the Senior School and the Sixth Form. School life at Yarm School is varied, exciting, and fast-paced. There is never a dull moment as we embody our ethos of ‘educating for life’. The School has excellent facilities set in an attractive campus on the banks of the River Tees in the heart of the historic town of Yarm. Many of the buildings are modern and were purpose-built and offer an unparalleled environment in which to learn.
Yarm is regularly recognised as the best school in the area and one of the best schools in the North East. The Sunday Times also ranked Yarm highly in the North East in its recent Parent Power league table and in 2018 the school was awarded North East School of the Year. Yarm School was also included in the Tatler Schools Guide, recognised as a leading School in the North.
