Yarm School, a coeducational day school, is situated in the attractive and historic town of Yarm on a beautiful stretch of the River Tees. It was established in 1978 to provide high quality education for pupils aged 11 to 18. It has its own Preparatory School for boys and girls aged 7 to 10, an Early School for boys and girls aged 4 to 6 years and a Nursery for 3 year-olds. In addition, there is a satellite junior school in Darlington, Yarm at Raventhorpe, run and owned as part of Yarm School. It accommodates 100 pupils 3-11.
The Senior School is on a beautiful site with the River Tees running through it (no wonder it is a top rowing school!). Based around The Friarage (an impressive eighteenth century mansion), there are outstanding classroom and sport facilities. The School embarked upon an exciting £20m redevelopment project of its sites in 2009. A brand-new, flood-lit, all-weather sports facility was opened in 2009 and earlier in 2010 the second phase was completed including a stunning dining hall, fitness suite and new maths classrooms. Work is currently underway on a riverside performing arts centre for music, dance and drama and will be ready in 2011. The riverside development boasts a 750 seat auditorium, studio theatre, dance studio and music performance block, as well as a new classroom block.
The school's academic reputation is high and almost all leavers go on to university. Its sporting reputation is also enviable, with success being achieved right up to national level and the wide range of sports offered caters for most tastes and both genders. An adventurous outdoor education programme, led by a highly qualified Outdoor Education specialist, includes canoeing, skiing, rock-climbing, caving, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, the CCF and overseas. The school is highly respected for its strength in music and drama.
Yarm School believes firmly in "education for life" and has more sport and activities within its timetable than is offered in most schools. It is committed to developing in pupil’s inter-personal and leadership skills, manners and an awareness of the needs of others. There is a well-developed system of pastoral care, providing support for each individual pupil.
A range of scholarships and bursaries is available. Please contact the School for further details.
