Introducing ‘Out of the Ashes’ – Yarm School’s Academic Journal

This year, Yarm School proudly launched its first academic journal, Arete, meaning “excellence”. The journal aims to inspire students to engage in academic enquiry and foster intellectual curiosity outside of the curriculum.

The debut edition, titled Out of the Ashes…, features original articles written by pupils over the summer holidays on a connected subject or topic. We were delighted to receive twelve contributions from students in the current Fourth, Lower Sixth, and Upper Sixth, covering a wide range of subjects including medicine, opera, history, law, geography, politics, archaeology, and English and French literature.

These diverse articles showcase the broad academic interests and dedication of Yarm School pupils, reflecting the school’s ethos of encouraging students to embrace challenge and consistently strive for excellence.

Hard copies of Arete are available in school, and an online version can be accessed by clicking here.
