Memorable milestone for Yarlet School
2
013 has been an exciting year for Yarlet, not least as
it marks the school’s 140th anniversary. This
memorable milestone in the school’s history was
celebrated in fine style at a Summer Fair on 29th
June. The celebrations typified life at Yarlet, with lots of
children having fun, as well as the mums, dads,
grandparents, friends and former pupils who were also
able to join us to share this joyous occasion.
2013 is also a memorable year for our Form 8
leavers. The Form 8 Common Entrance results were
excellent and it has been an outstanding year for Senior
School awards, with 10 out of 16 leavers gaining awards
– academic, music, sporting, artistic, all-round – and,
notably, two of our pupils achieved an Academic
Exhibition to Wycombe Abbey and an Academic
Scholarship to Concord College – schools which are
ranked as the top two academic schools in the United
Kingdom.
Outside the classroom, Sport, Dance, Drama and
Music complete the picture of a Yarlet education. Set in
33 acres of Staffordshire countryside the school is home
to unrivalled sporting facilities. Pupils take part in a
daily games session, with a full and varied programme
being organised for pupils of all levels of sporting ability.
Our programme is fully inclusive and all pupils will have
opportunities to represent their school in teams.
Annual musicals, ballet productions, nativity plays,
42 October/November 2013
music concerts and carol services bring the arts to life at
Yarlet and inspire self-belief and creative confidence in
all our pupils. Every child has the opportunity to shine.
This is complemented by our new Yarlet Music
Academy and Academy of Performing Arts.
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.
