Yorkshire Dales
Aysgarth School is situated in Newton-le-Willows, Bedale at the gateway of Wensleydale in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. This rural setting is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Setting
Aysgarth is a purpose built School with extensive grounds and sports pitches stretching over 50 acres. The School is surrounded by farm land.
Opportunites
Boys of all abilities and interests can benefit from an Aysgarth education. We encourage the boys to excel at whatever they enjoy, whether it is academic, music, sport or the arts. The curriculum is broad and we teach boys in ability groups to enable them to develop at the appropriate rate. Our Skills Development team assists those with learning or behavioural difficulties across the ability range.

Where our pupils come from
Our pupils come from across the UK as well as from overseas. For weekends out (exeats) and half terms, we escort boys on the trains to and from London and Edinburgh, allowing boys to experience a top-class education in a rural setting. Local children often start in our Pre-Prep (for boys and girls aged 3 -8 years) and then move on to the Prep School as a day boy or boarder.
Facilities
From the heated indoor swimming pool to the incredible new sports hall, the floodlit astroturf pitch and the theatre, Aysgarth offers fantastic facilities. Boys make the most of these opportunities and achieve recognition for their sporting, musical and acting performances, as well as enjoying the creative opportunities in the workshop and the art studio.
