INDEPENDENT EDUCATION Aiming high is key to a Yarlet education iming high is key to a Yarlet education, whether starting out in the Nursery at the age of 2 years, or preparing for the next stage of academic life at 13 years. Aiming high means that we expect the very best from your child inside and outside the classroom. It means that we set challenging, but achievable, academic targets to ensure that all pupils are stretched to achieve to the best of their ability and also learn to become responsible, independent thinkers. Although we are not academically selective on entry, excellent standards of teaching A ensure that the vast majority of pupils soon become at least one year ahead of the national average in Mathematics and English. These standards continue throughout the school, with many pupils achieving scholarship awards to their senior school, and every pupil passing entry examinations to the senior school of their choice. Outside the classroom, Sport, Dance, Drama and Music complete the picture of a Yarlet education. Pupils take part in a daily games session, with a full and varied programme being organised for pupils of all levels of sporting ability. The family atmosphere at Yarlet ensures that our children are nurtured to understand the importance of kindness, courtesy and respect for others. Children enjoy coming to school, as can be seen by their happy, smiling faces. You are welcome to visit our Open Mornings on Saturday 22nd and Monday 24th March between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm. If these dates are not convenient, either telephone (01785 286568), email ([email protected]) or contact us through our website (yarletschool.org) to arrange an appointment. We look forward to meeting you. February/March 2014 45
