Entrance Assessments

Here’s everything you need to know about Yarm School’s Entrance Assessments.

Entry into Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep School

Nursery (3+) and Reception (4+) children are invited to attend Taster Days; early reservation is recommended. Assessments for pupils from age 5 by appointment throughout the year.

Please ring Miss Sophie Richardson on 01642 781447 or email sri@yarmschool.org to request further details.

Entry into Senior School

Entry at 11+

For entry into First Year (Year 7) and above all applicants sit the  Entrance Assessments which take place in the January preceding September entry. Any late applicant, after the Entrance Assessments, may sit the tests by appointment and, if successful, will be offered a place if available or a place on the waiting list if the year group is fully subscribed.

Entry at 16+

Candidates applying for entry into the Sixth Form will be invited to an interview which can be arranged from the November onwards in the year preceding entry. There are specific entry requirements found in the Sixth Form Prospectus available for download in the Sixth Form section.

The best way to experience the atmosphere at Yarm School is to visit us on a school day and/ or at our one of our Open Events.
