Joining Yarm School is the beginning of a meaningful partnership with your family, and we ensure every child’s unique path begins with warmth, care and a true sense of belonging.

At Yarm, we pride ourselves on being the optimum size. We are large enough to offer an extraordinary breadth of opportunity and state-of-the-art facilities, yet small enough to ensure that every pupil is known, supported, and valued as an individual.

While spaces in certain year groups are limited, we are committed to doing our utmost to support during this time. We understand the importance of finding the right path forward, and our team is here to help you navigate the transition smoothly.

We offer a sincere welcome to every family joining Yarm. We recognise that moving schools in this situation is extremely unsettling for the whole family and we have put a lot of thought into the process to make it smooth.

Specialist Transition Support

To help navigate the new start, every new pupil will know their Tutor, Head of Year and the wider pastoral team at Senior School and their Form Teachers at Prep. Our pastoral team works in close collaboration to ensure that every new pupil feels welcome, secure, and supported from their very first day.

Life at Yarm is designed to bring people together. Through a rich tapestry of lessons, co-curricular activities, clubs, music, drama, sport and House events, pupils have the opportunity to engage with their peers and staff. These shared experiences and passions provide the perfect environment for lifelong friendships to be forged and formed.

From navigating the practicalities of a new timetable to ensuring your child feels confident from day one, we appreciate that changing schools is a journey. Our tutors and Heads of Year / Form Teachers are there to help you with anything you might need, ensuring the process of joining the school stays exciting!
