Since Yarm School’s foundation in 1978 it has become one of the best schools in the North East. Our academic results and facilities are outstanding but they offer so much more than an excellent academic education: they firmly believe in educating for life.As well as offering pupils the opportunity to reach their academic potential and achieve excellent results in public examinations, we aim to nurture and encourage values that ensure our pupils become adults who will contribute positively to society. They develop the attributes and skills sought by employers and equip pupils for life beyond school. They hone these skills within a caring, friendly and mutually supportive community. The pastoral care programme also ensures that pupils are known as individuals and supported at each step of their journey through the School.
