Open Day

Join us for an opportunity to discover the unique, vibrant learning environment at Yarrells. While we don't currently have another Open Day in the diary, every day is an Open Day at Yarrells!

We invite you to arrange a tour of our school and meet with our Head, Mrs. Clare Cunningham, from Monday to Friday, during term time, between 9am and 4pm. This is a fantastic chance to explore our beautiful school, meet our staff, and see firsthand how we inspire a love of learning in children aged 2 to 11.

Our Greenwood Nursery, nestled in a woodland glade, offers a joyful introduction to school life for children from 2 years old. Whether attending on a term-time or all-year-round basis, each child’s curiosity and enthusiasm are nurtured in a stimulating and nurturing environment.

Our main school, located in a stunning Georgian mansion in Upton, Dorset, provides a wealth of learning opportunities. Surrounded by gardens, fields, sports courts, and woodland, our enriched curriculum blends academic excellence, performing and visual arts, sport, and outdoor education, ensuring each child’s individual potential is developed.

We are proud members of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS) and are dedicated to preparing our pupils for success—whether that’s securing places at top grammar and independent schools, or growing their confidence, kindness, and passion for learning.

If you'd like to see how we bring education to life, we warmly encourage you to arrange a visit at a time that works best for you. Our Admissions Registrar, Kristal Bowdler, is available to confirm your booking. Please email admissions@yarrells.co.uk or complete the online Enquiry Form, and we will be happy to arrange a private appointment.

We look forward to welcoming you to Yarrells and sharing all the wonderful opportunities we have to offer!
