A warm welcome to the Yarrells Preparatory School website on .

Every child has something valuable to offer.  We think 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 village of Upton, near the breathtaking scenery of Poole harbour on the historic Dorset coastline.

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