Yarrells Preparatory School

We promote high, individual academic standards, integrating the performing & visual arts and sport within a dynamic and extensive curriculum. A member of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS), we welcome boys and girls between the ages of 2 and 11. Our school is housed in a Georgian mansion and surrounding classroom buildings encircled by the gardens, fields, sports courts, swimming pool and woodland of its own estate in the town of Upton, near Poole, Dorset. In this beautiful environment, we have the scope to make the most of rich learning opportunities. We believe passionately in taking an individualised approach and that in our setting, guided by expert staff, we can nurture each child’s gift and help them develop the confidence to meet life’s challenges with spirit and determination.
