Oak House is the Pre-Prep and Nursery school at Aysgarth School, which was founded in 1993. It caters for boys and girls from 2 1/2 to 8 on a daily basis in a large self-contained building with a warm and homely atmosphere in the Aysgarth School grounds.

It has access to the Prep school facilities such as the games fields, sports hall, swimming pool, computer suite, library and chapel. There is a large car park close by and a secure, purpose-built playground.

It is a happy environment in which to start school. The curriculum and teaching are traditional whilst incorporating the best of modern practice. The aims are to lay sound foundations in reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling and handwriting; to kindle an interest in art, music, technology and sport; to teach and demonstrate strong moral values and for the children to enjoy themselves in a cheerful, well ordered and structured environment.

The children are taught by well qualified and highly motivated staff who are committed to ensuring that the children in their care enjoy their first experience of school and learning.
