Aysgarth School in North Yorkshire is embracing co-education all through the school following a parent survey

Aysgarth Prep in North Yorkshire made history at the start of the academic year by welcoming 34 girls into the prep school. With a nearly 150-year tradition of day and boarding education for boys, the school is embracing co-education right through Years 4–8.

Aysgarth has been welcoming girls to the Pre-Prep for 30 years. The Governors’ decision to extend girls’ education was made following feedback from an in-depth 2023 parent survey, which indicated a strong desire for this change within the existing Aysgarth community.

Aysgarth School, which is located in the village of Newton-le-Willows, has a strong prep boarding tradition and offers Saturday school and daily chapel services. It maintains strong links with senior schools across the country, including Repton, Rugby, Merchiston, Shrewsbury and Harrow.
