Schools in Yarm

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Yarm is a market town on the River Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees, with 5 primary schools and 1 secondary school administered by Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. The borough does not operate a selective grammar system; secondary places are allocated by distance after siblings and looked-after children. Yarm's schools include no faith schools with religious oversubscription criteria.

Yarm School (an independent school) is located in the town but is a fee-paying independent and does not participate in the local authority admissions process. State school applicants should apply through Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council's common application form. The national secondary deadline of 31 October and primary deadline of 15 January apply.
