Best for

As a leading co-educational day and boarding prep school, and part of the Shrewsbury School Family, we combine tradition with innovation to deliver an education that excites and empowers.

Less ideal for

Our pupils are curious, confident, and full of character – qualities that flourish through inspiring teaching, enriching opportunities and a culture that celebrates individuality.

Academic Profile

We believe that the best learning happens when children are free to explore, imagine, and connect with the world around them.

Time outdoors is actively encouraged and our use of the school grounds provides a rich, natural environment where children can engage in hands-on experiences that foster curiosity, resilience and a sense of adventure.

Pastoral Environment

Our Reception class enjoys its own specially designed outdoor play area, complete with vegetable gardens, a sandpit, and a mud kitchen. These spaces allow our youngest learners to explore nature, play creatively and begin to understand the world through tactile and meaningful experiences.

Developing the whole child is a priority and whilst we ensure academic rigour, nurturing transferable skills for life, drives our thematic curriculum, which is rich in active and cooperative learning experiences.

Sport / Extracurricular

The pupils also have access to a wide range of co-curricular opportunities which allow them to develop essential life skills and try new experiences.
