Uniquely Yarrells – Success Now and Into the Future

Set in a stunning Georgian manor house in Poole, Yarrells School offers a unique environment for children to learn and grow. With sports fields, a swimming pool and woodland areas, the setting invites children to explore, discover, and flourish.

As a family-run school led by Headteacher Clare Cunningham, we pride ourselves on developing happy, confident, kind, and capable children. Our pupils benefit from a nurturing education that balances strong academics with creativity, character, and joy, preparing them for senior school and life beyond.

Our Nursery provides a warm, and caring start for the youngest learners. With a focus on play-based discovery, children develop early independence and curiosity. Daily outdoor adventures, including regular time at our Forest School, help instil resilience and a love of learning from the very beginning.

As pupils progress through the school, they are guided by dedicated teachers who bring learning to life across a broad curriculum. We are proud of our pupils’ strong academic results and high success rate in gaining places at local Grammar and leading independent senior schools, many with scholarships in academics, music, and the arts.

The Performing Arts are central to life at Yarrells. Through music, drama, and dance, every child has the opportunity to perform, grow in confidence, and express themselves with pride. Sport is equally valued. Pupils enjoy excellent tennis facilities, a swimming pool, and benefit from our exciting padel tennis partnership with Cross Court Padel, offering opportunities to learn one of the world’s fastest-growing sports.

This year, we officially opened our new Forest School. Immersed in woodland, it gives pupils space to explore, and connect with the natural world.

At Yarrells, we help children thrive in the classroom, outdoors, on the stage, and in life.

We warmly welcome you to experience our open days and see the magic of Yarrells for yourself.
