Mrs Cunningham shared:

“I could not be prouder to lead such a wonderful school.

Yarrells is not just any school — it is a community with a unique character and a tangible soul. Family-owned and steeped in tradition, Yarrells blends a rich history with a forward-looking approach to education.

Our small class sizes are one of our greatest strengths: every child is known, valued, and supported to reach their potential.

Education at Yarrells is about far more than academic success — it’s about discovering talents, nurturing creativity, building confidence, and developing kindness.

I am deeply passionate about creating an environment where children love to be and where individuals can shine.”

Yarrells School – a place of inspiration, joy and excellence, where every child has the opportunity to thrive.
