About Aysgarth School

Aysgarth is a family-centered community, valuing happiness, kindness, politeness, and good manners. These traditional values are seamlessly balanced with a forward-looking approach, fostering independence, confidence, creativity, and success in every pupil.

Nestled in the stunning North Yorkshire Dales, Aysgarth enjoys a unique rural setting that complements its award-winning pastoral care and outstanding academic results. With Saturday lessons and daily chapel services, the predominantly boarding Prep school offers a nurturing yet structured environment.

Academic development

Aysgarth ensures academic development remains a priority while also encouraging pupils to explore diverse interests in sports, music, drama, art, and community service. This holistic approach allows children to discover their strengths and passions, setting them up for a lifetime of achievement and fulfilment.

The school prides itself on guiding families toward the right senior schools for their children, with pupils moving on to the UK’s best. Aysgarthians are hardworking, well-rounded individuals, making them assets to their future schools and communities. Aysgarth consistently sees up to 60% of its Year 8 pupils earn scholarships to prestigious schools, such as Eton, Harrow and many more.

Bright World provided me somewhere to stay in the half term and they have been a great listener when there are times that I would like to express my opinion on something. They are amazing!
