Tatler magazine names Aysgarth as winner of the ‘Best Prep School’
At the launch of its 2020 schools guide, Tori Cadogen, Editor of the Tatler magazine announced that Aysgarth was the winner of the ‘Best Prep School’
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. Aysgarth School has been for its “top notch teaching” and commended the Headmaster’s philosophy that “happy boys learn more quickly”.
Rob Morse, Headmaster of Aysgarth School, said: “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.”
Located just 5 mins from Bedale in the spectacular North Yorkshire countryside, Aysgarth School is unique. It is the only all-boys boarding Prep School in the north of Britain and regularly sends a stream of boys to schools such as Eton, Harrow, Winchester and Radley, as well as to those closer to home.
Situated in 50 acres at the foothills of the Yorkshire Dales, Aysgarth is one of the country’s leading Prep Schools for boys and the single boys-only boarding school in the North of England. Founded in 1877 to prepare boys to go on to public schools all over the country such as Harrow and Eton the focus remains the same today, incorporating a full boarding focus for boys 8 to 13 yrs, and a Pre Prep and Nursery for boys and girls aged from 3 to 8.
