Anushri

Prep School Captain

I joined Yarm School in Nursery and now I am really looking forward to being a School Captain and having the privilege to take on more responsibility, like speeches at Prize Giving, helping out with different events and being the role model for the younger children who may want to become School Captain one day. I really love the different activities we can get involved in, like sports, music and science.

Pre-Prep Teacher

The broad and varied opportunities at Yarm School make every day an adventure for its pupils. Being part of the EYFS team means that I get to nurture the sense of awe, wonder and creativity which makes Yarm such an inspiring place to be. I love the outdoors and have enjoyed sharing my passion for exercise with children in the Pre-Prep during a weekly running club. It is always a pleasure to be part of the pupil’s learning journey. Teaching truly is a privilege - and a lot of fun too!

Ruth Langford

Vice-Chair of Governors

For the past seven years I have been privileged to be one of the Yarm School Governors, extending my connection to the School which began in 2001 when our family moved to the North East from Birmingham. Our three children started at Yarm School and it was a brand new venture for the whole family as we had no previous connections with the North East.  We found the Yarm School community welcoming and friendly with opportunities around every corner.  Over the years, and like many other parents, we have  collected offspring at varying times of the day and night after trips, or fixtures. I have always been struck by the vibrancy of the place. For me, it is the School that never sleeps, exuding its own special ’buzz’ and energy. It is a happy place with so much going on, but in a purposeful and well organised way. The School has an exciting future ahead and I feel humbled and privileged to be able to play a small part in The Yarm School journey.

Huw Williams

Headmaster

I feel incredibly lucky to be Headmaster of such a fantastic school. The sense of community at Yarm is second to none and we value our place in our local community, too.  The breadth of opportunity on offer means that there is something for everyone to discover and in which to thrive.  Our pupils are confident without a shred of pretentiousness and our talented and passionate staff guide and support each individual on their personal journeys of discovery. This is no ordinary school!

Shilpi

Senior School Vice Captain

I love how Yarm has a strong sense of community - it's an incredibly supportive and positive atmosphere. The teachers in particular are amazing at supporting the pupils and creating a positive environment to encourage learning. The extra-curricular opportunities are also brilliant, whether it's for music, sport or drama there is something there for everyone to thrive in.

John Hall

Head of Classics - Latin & ClassCiv

I joined Yarm School in 2008; I was fresh out of university and did my teacher training while working here, and have been here ever since. I've been a First Year Tutor since my earliest days at the School and I really enjoy seeing how much our youngest pupils grow in confidence, responsibility and skills in just that first year. I love teaching Classics and introducing pupils to the ancient world: I can't think of any other job where I would get to talk all day about Greek myths, or Latin grammar, or the origins of words. But one of my favourite things about working at Yarm School is the opportunity to get involved in drama: every year the Fourth Years stage an ancient Greek play (in English!) and I’m always impressed by their energy, dedication and talent.
