Yateley Manor A GSG School

What says..

Over our tasty beef curry at lunch, one senior girl stated that 'I want to stay to year 11 because I will miss my friends'; another gave approval to iPad based lessons which are 'quite cool' and to an assembly where the head tucked into a tin of dog food in order to explain that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. And then there is chess. Uniquely, in our experience, this has a designated room, the Ruy Lopez Room, named after a 16th century Spanish chess-playing priest. Boards are at the ready: the school’s own chess YouTube channel has over…

What the school says...

Yateley Manor offers pupils an inspirational educational journey that will prepare them for their chosen senior school and provide them with the tools to build successful adult lives.

Innovative, enthusiastic and committed teachers provide the framework for your child’s educational, cultural and social development. Nurtured in a warm, friendly and safe environment within a unique and supportive family atmosphere, children are given new experiences to explore, building confidence and stimulating their desire to learn.

A full programme enriches the educational experience giving every child the opportunity to find talents and strengths. Chess is an important part of Yateley Manor’s programme with children learning to play from an early age. There are many activities to try, including modern dance and ballet in the specially equipped Studio and music technology in the new Music School. Horse riding, masterchef and photography in art are also very popular. Sport is enhanced by impressive facilities.

At the heart of the school is the importance of strong relationships between children and adults. In a community that embraces a breadth of cultures where all relationships are based upon respect, children learn to appreciate the need to be courteous, considerate and to use common sense. They are encouraged to be creative and courageous as they develop into confident individuals, with a strong foundation for a happy and balanced life. Pupils can only achieve this once they have been given the tools and the self-belief. ...Read more

What The Good Schools Guide says

Headmaster

Since 2015, Robert Upton – an individual in the full bloom of his middle years. Astute, visionary and, as his staff observed ‘a stickler’, he deals with the complexity of headship with the sort of stylish professionalism that is bound to appeal equally to parents and children.

A graduate of the University of Greenwich, where he took a degree in estate management, completing a series of property management placements. Consequently, unlike many school leaders who have spent their lives in the bubble of academia, he has a grasp of the kind of futures that his pupils will encounter and that Yateley Manor parents live. He gradually came to the realisation that a teaching career made more appeal than dealing with mortar, and has gone on to acquire a breadth of...

Special Education Needs

The aim of the learning support department is to identify those pupils within the school who have special educational needs (SEN), to ensure that the individual learning needs of pupils are identified, regularly assessed and that appropriate provision is implemented as part of a whole school approach to meeting SEN. Help is offered to children with specific learning difficulties either by individual tuition (which is chargeable) or in small groups. The school has a learning support department which involves parents, staff and the pupil in all decisions regarding their SEN. There is support for teachers to meet the learning needs of all pupils and make the optimum use of support staff to ensure that a range of strategies and resources are used to aid progress. Yateley Manor School offers effective liaison with parents, external agencies and staff. The school's learning support policy is published on the website.
