Open Morning
Book your place
Time: 9am to 12noon
We are delighted to invite prospective families into school for our Whole School Open Morning on Saturday, 26th September 2026.
You will discover the unique spirit of Yarm and see how we develop the “whole child” through our mission, Educating for Life. Whether you are considering our Pre-Prep, Prep, or Senior School, we invite you to tour the school, meet our pupils and teacher, and see our community in action.
Booking is essential and our admissions team will be in touch closer to the date with further details.







The School is open from 9am – 12 noon. If you have registered for the 9.15am talk, then please arrive for 9am; you will tour the school after the presentation. If you have registered for the 11.30am talk, then please arrive anytime before 10:30am to allow time to tour the school before watching the Headmasters’ presentation.
The Headmaster’s presentation covers everything you need to know about joining the Senior School. Senior School visitors will be directed to the reception area in the Auditorium by our Sixth Form students. You will have the opportunity to tour the school, speak to pupils and teachers and get a flavour of what Yarm School is really like. There is a timetable of activities throughout the morning, including science experiments, dance, drama and sport.
Join us between 9am and 12pm (booking required) to experience Yarm School in action. This morning is the perfect opportunity to tour our dedicated Sixth Form facilities, speak directly with students and staff, and see our curriculum come to life through live science experiments, creative arts, and sporting displays. Head of Sixth Form, Dr Alan Goodall, will be on hand to answer your questions, offering the ideal first hand look at student life ahead of our more detailed A Level Information Evening in November.
Our Senior School is located in Yarm, North Yorkshire and can be found just off Yarm High Street (TS15 (EJ). We are easily accessible for people travelling from around Durham, Teesside, Wynyard and North Yorkshire. Our Estates staff will be on hand to help you park on our school site.

Visitors to the Pre-School, Pre-Prep or Prep School will meet their teacher and pupil guides in the Pre-Prep Hall and begin their tour of the school. You will have the opportunity to meet Mr Bill Sawyer (Prep School Head), Mrs Joanne Speight (Pre-Prep Head) and Laura Rowlands (Pre-School Lead) before, after or during your tour.
All visitors to the Prep School should park at the Prep School car park (TS15 9ES). The car park is just before (from South) or just after (from North) the Pre-Prep building. The Nursery, Pre-Prep and Preparatory School are located just outside Yarm High Street, across The Spital and on the opposite side to the Senior School.
