A warm welcome to the Yarrells School website

Every child has something valuable to offer. We believe that in small groups guided by enthusiastic staff, we can find and nurture a child's gift and give each the confidence to tackle life's challenges with spirit and determination.

Yarrells Preparatory School is an independent “country” school for boys and girls between 2 and 13 in the suburban town of Upton, near Poole which lies on the historic Dorset coastline, with its world-famous harbour surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Purbeck.

Whether you are a current student, Old Yarrellian, a current or prospective parent or just a casual browser, we hope you will find our new website to be a useful source of up-to-date information about life at Yarrells.
