 At Yarlet, we try to provide our girls and boys with the best possible all-round education and these are some of the ways we do it:
- Outstanding facilities and surroundings - a wonderful environment in which children can play as well as learn about Science, Geography and History.
- Excellent standards of teaching ensure the vast majority of pupils are at least one year ahead of the national average in Literacy and Numeracy (NFER Assessments/SATs).
- Specialist subject teachers and subject rooms from the age of 7.
- High academic achievement.
- 100% success in Common Entrance Examinations to Senior Schools.
- High number of scholarship awards to Senior Schools, including academic, art, sport, drama and all-round achievement.
- Fast track to success for academically able children and numerous opportunities to shine for children with talents in other areas.
- Developing each child's strengths and supporting their areas for development.
- Small class sizes, averaging 16, but to a maximum of 18 (up to Year 1, age 6) and 20 from Year 2 (age 7) to Year 8 (age 13).
- A family atmosphere - children are nurtured to learn self-discipline, respect and consideration for others. Yarlet friends are friends for life.
- Most homework can be completed in supervised prep periods either during or just after the normal school day.
- Additional tuition for pupils preparing for Scholarship or Common Entrance examinations to senior schools at no extra charge.
- Strong relationships with Senior Schools.
- Unrivalled sporting facilities and a wide variety of seasonal sports, with expert tuition and daily coaching lessons.
- Major drama productions, together with annual ballet and jazz performances.
- Specialist music tuition and opportunities to play in ensembles, at concerts and to take recognised examinations in chosen instrument/s.
- Close ties between Nursery, Pre-Prep and Main School, fostering good relationships and smooth transitions between Key Stages.
- Flexible finishing times in Main School and the possibility of taking advantage of an extended day until 7pm at no extra charge.
- The opportunity to board through our flexi-boading programme which as well as being great fun, prepares those children who may wish to consider moving on to a boarding school.
