Aysgarth School

Aysgarth Prep School is a thriving community that provides boys with a homely environment in which to develop their potential. My wife, Caroline, and I act as 'parents' to the boys, with the support of a caring and dedicated team. We try to ensure that every boy is looked after and flourishing in every respect, working in partnership with their parents.

We aim high! We prepare boys for the leading public schools in the country, and we aim to stretch every boy to make the most of their abilities in small groups and classes, whatever the activity.

We believe that boarding provides tremendous benefits to those boys and parents who are willing to commit themselves to it. The breadth of opportunities and the time to enjoy them is a great advantage, with staff on hand to provide supervision and encouragement, and friends to add that extra dimension of fun! There is also an intensity of activity and ambition, which stimulates boys to be get involved, whether in the classroom, on the games pitches, in music, creative arts or in their ability to get along with others.

We welcome day boys who will also benefit by being a part of this community and we hope that in time it may be possible for them to join the boarding community, though there is no compulsion to do so. There is also scope for a gradual build up to boarding.

We aim to make Aysgarth a Christian environment in which the boys’ faith will be built and encouraged and that they will develop values that will underpin their development in later life.
