Yarrells Preparatory School

Yarrells Preparatory School and Nursery provides excellent opportunities for children to enjoy learning in an enriching environment indoors and outdoors. We promote high academic standards, integrating the performing & visual arts and sport within a dynamic and extensive curriculum.

A member of the prestigious Independent Association of Preparatory Schools, Yarrells takes boys and girls between the ages of 2 and 11. The School is housed in a Georgian mansion and contemporary classroom buildings encircled by the gardens, fields, courts, pool and woodland of its own estate in the town of Upton, near Poole, Dorset. In these beautiful surroundings, we have the scope to make the most of learning indoors and outdoors. We believe that every child has something valuable to offer and that in our setting, guided by expert staff, we can find and nurture a child’s gift and give each the confidence to tackle life’s challenges with spirit and determination.
