Yarm School
Yarm School is a co-educational private day school in Yarm, North Yorkshire in the North East of England. The school accepts pupils aged 3–18 years old and has a Nursery Pre-Prep, Preparatory School, Senior School and Sixth Form. The school was founded in 1978 and is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
Yarm School is in the market town of Yarm, on the edge of the Teesside conurbation. The Senior School and Sixth Form border the River Tees and are off Yarm High Street. The Preparatory School is located on the opposite side of The Spital, not far from the High Street.
Founded in 1978 as an independent day school for boys.[citation needed] The School was opened under the headship of R. Neville Tate and was located on the site of Yarm Parish Church, as well as an additional three acres of land all on the Spital road.
These buildings had previously housed a Free Grammar School that had been providing education to disadvantaged boys since 1590. A new comprehensive, Conyers' School, which succeeded the ancient Grammar School decided to move site, which it did in 1977. The next year, Yarm School was founded on the site and remained there until September 1980, when it moved to The Friarage on the west bank of the River Tees. At the same time, the buildings on The Spital were used to create Yarm Preparatory School. The two schools was then educating boys from the age of 3 upwards.
In 2001, Yarm School became fully co-educational, and it was the first co-educational independent school in the North East. In 2006, the school expanded further with the acquisition of Raventhorpe Preparatory School which became the satellite feeder school called Yarm at Raventhorpe. However, in January 2013 it was announced that Yarm at Raventhorpe would be closed. This is because the school was no longer financially viable. All Yarm at Raventhorpe pupils were offered places at Yarm Preparatory School.
In 2009 a £20 million redevelopment plan won approval by Stockton Council – and with it, a potential boost to the Teesside economy.
The School underwent significant developments in the years to follow, including new classrooms, improved dining and kitchen facilities, sporting facilities like a boat house and fitness suite, and a 750-seat auditorium.
R. Neville Tate was Headmaster of Yarm School until 1999 when David Dunn was appointed. Dunn stepped down in 2019 and Dr Huw Williams took on the position.
