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.

A School Where Every Child Can Flourish

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.
