From the Yateley School
I am incredibly pleased of our joyful and prosperous school.
I firmly believe that every child has the right to a top-notch education and that education has the ability to improve children's lives.
Excellent resources are available both within and outside of the classroom, and Yateley School provides unparalleled preparation for adult life.
The curriculum "offers learners the opportunity to study a wide choice of subjects to fit their interests and objectives," according to Ofsted (2018).
All of our kids are respected as unique individuals and encouraged to explore their skills to the full in a setting that values success, and I have a deep belief in their boundless potential.
Our exceptional House structure ensures that all students may and should participate from the first day and play a full part in the success of both House and School. This is in addition to the extensive opportunities within the curriculum.
Our superb, sizable Sixth Form is an essential component of the school.
Our goal is to inspire each kid to be happy, curious, tolerant, and self-assured.
We take pride in encouraging young people to think critically, independently, and about others.
We want every student to graduate from Yateley with class-leading credentials, a genuine feeling of their own worth, and the ability to contribute to society.
Without any justification, I think our school's offer should be excellent.
