We are delighted to announce that Tatler have named Aysgarth 'Best Prep School' at their awards ceremony last night.

I am absolutely delighted that Aysgarth has been awarded the Tatler’s ‘Best Prep School’ award. Many of us have long known that Aysgarth is a very special place indeed but it is always reassuring to receive recognition from external agencies. The Tatler award comes hot on the heels of the superb report from the ISI and is truly the icing on the cake. Rob Morse, Headmaster

Each year the Tatler Schools’ experienced and discerning team of researchers do the hard work for parents. 350 schools are shortlisted, 2000 miles are travelled, around 873 hours of research undertaken, nearly 300 questionnaires are filled and all this is then cogitated and finally distilled down to the final 244 of the UK’s finest independent schools. They are not just chosen for their league table busting results or their world class facilities (although these are closely looked at) but to go into the Tatler Schools Guide they must offer the whole package – holistic pastoral care, a focus on character education as much as pure academics and the ability to accommodate and nurture all their pupils resulting in well educated, but most importantly, happy children.
