Aysgarth School is an independent day and boarding preparatory school near to the village of Newton-le-Willows, North Yorkshire, England. As the name suggests, it was originally opened in the village of Aysgarth but was moved to Newton-le-Willows in 1890.

History

The school was opened in 1877 by the Reverend Clement Hales to prepare boys for a secondary school education. In 1890, the school moved to newly built premises costing £20,000 in the village of Newton-le-Willows but retained the name of Aysgarth School.[2][3] The chapel was a new building too, but contained items from elsewhere, such as the pulpit which was originally from Easby Abbey near Richmond.[4] Whilst the chapel on site is a listed building, the rest of the buildings remain unlisted due to a significant fire on site in 1933 which destroyed much of the school.[5][6]

The school is a preparatory school for selection to a range of private and independent schools across the United Kingdom and offers places to boys between the ages of 8 and 13 and also runs a pre-prep (or preparatory nursery) open to boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 7.[7] Its independent status means that it is assessed by the Independent Schools Inspectorate for reporting purposes rather than Ofsted.[8]

The school has been described as one of the leading prep schools for boys and the only single-sex school of its kind north of Oxford.[9][10] Its admissions policy is non-selective and fosters a culture of allowing boys to be boys in a safe but calming environment.[11] The school is one of many who allow pets into the class and Aysgarth School encourages Housemasters to allow their dogs into class.[10][12] The school's ethos is based on Christian values and principles, and as such, boarders are expected to attend services in the chapel on site for church services.[13]

The school's motto is Ex quercu non ex salice (Latin for of oak, not of willow) and former pupils are known as Aysgarthians.[14]

Controversies

In early 2017, a former teacher at the school was charged with five offences including gross indecency and indecent assault. The charges relate to when he was a staff member at the school.[15]

  • Sir (Henry) Grattan Bushe, Lawyer and colonial governor[16]
  • George Butterworth, Composer and folk-dancer[17]
  • Basil Guy, Victoria Cross recipient[18]
  • David Ince, RAF pilot who flew 150 missions over Germany during the Second World War and who was awarded the DFC[19]
  • Richard Meinertzhagen, Soldier and ornithologist[20]
  • Matthew Pinsent, Olympic rower[21]
  • Jonathan Ruffer, Philanthropist[23]
  • Robert Swan, Polar explorer[22]
