We’re excited to announce that admissions for 2026 are now open at Yarrells School & Nursery in Upton, Poole. Whether your child is just starting their learning journey or joining us from another school, Yarrells is a place where every child is known, valued and encouraged to shine — academically, socially and emotionally.
At Yarrells, we believe that childhood should be filled with discovery, creativity and confidence. Our dedicated teachers, supportive community and inspiring surroundings create the perfect environment for children to grow and thrive.
Small Class Sizes
 We keep our classes small so that every child receives the attention, encouragement and challenge they need to achieve their best.
Specialist Teaching from the Start
 From the earliest years, children benefit from specialist teachers in subjects such as music, sport, drama and languages, helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.
Excellent Grammar School Preparation
 Our pupils achieve excellent results, with high grammar school pass rates and many continuing to top local senior schools.
Beautiful Natural Setting
 Our school is surrounded by trees, open space and nature, giving children the freedom to explore, play and learn in a calm, inspiring environment.
Early Years Funding Accepted
 We welcome children from the age of two, with Early Years Funding available until the term after their fifth birthday.
Every day is a tour day at Yarrells. We warmly invite you to come and see what makes our school such a special place for children to learn and grow.
To arrange your personal tour or to find out more about admissions, please contact our team — we’d be delighted to meet you and your family.
