We’re really pleased to welcome Philippa Dunford to the team at Yarm School as our new Alumni, Fundraising and Development Manager. This brand-new role is all about strengthening the connections between Yarm Former Pupils and the school, especially as we head towards our very special 50th Anniversary year in 2028.

Philippa will be your go-to person for sharing and celebrating news and achievements, organising reunions and FP events, and exploring the many ways you might like to get involved and give back to support Yarm School.

Philippa brings with her 20 years of experience in alumni relations, community engagement and fundraising across both schools and higher education. She grew up in York, attending Bootham School, and has recently moved from York to Thirsk.

If you have anything you'd like to share, find out ways to be involved or even just to say hello and connect, please contact Philippa philippa.dunford@yarmschool.org Alternatively, you can book a Google Meet with Philippa here.
