Aysgarth School is part of the Rugby School Group. A coeducational boarding prep school, with 85% of prep pupils in Year 7 and Year 8 full boarding. We offer Saturday lessons and 5 activities every Sunday. Annually, Aysgarth sends pupils to over 20 notable senior schools, and in September 2024, over 50% of Year 8 leavers began at their new schools with a scholarship.
Valuing respect, endeavour, and courage, Aysgarth prioritises happiness, well-being, and traditional values while empowering pupils to be independent, confident, and creative. We now also offer a dedicated Boarding Pathway to Rugby School. Escorted trains to and from London every exeat and half term.
Escorted unaccompanied minor service to all northern airports and, on request, to Edinburgh and York train stations.
60% of the 2024 leavers were awarded scholaships to top senior schools. 75% of the children play at least one musical instrument. Award-winning pastoral care. We have an international community of less than 10% and have a full submersion policy.
School history The school was originally founded by Rev. Clement Thomas Hales in the village of Aysgarth. This original site proved too small and the new building at Newton-le-Willows was opened in 1890 as a model of its kind. It houses a beautiful arts and craft chapel (now a listed building), an indoor swimming pool and electricity (quite unusual for that time).
