Welcome to Shrewsbury
Welcome to Shrewsbury School's website, which will tell you quite a lot about Shrewsbury School and, I hope, whet your appetite to know far more; although, to be truthful, the only way to do that is by making a personal visit.
That's because Shrewsbury is a uniquely 'personal' school in which individuality flourishes and mutual respect is 'sine qua non'. 'Predictable stuff from the Headmaster', I hear you say. Maybe so, but it is said with feeling, because it is true. Come and see for yourself.
Shrewsbury lives and breathes all the benefits of its boarding ethos - it is a proper boarding school. Many teaching staff live on site and all are committed well beyond 'the call of duty'. So much so that the regular academic time-table forms but a portion of our daily routine. Each afternoon Salopians enjoy a rich diet of sport, games and many other pursuits (at school, out on the Shropshire hills and elsewhere). Of an evening the place is buzzing with activity: play rehearsals, painting classes, exhibitions, orchestral rehearsals, choral concerts, house trips, visiting lecturers ... And at weekends the range of opportunities - from a day at the Test to a day trip to Paris - is astonishing.
The opportunity to live and work here (for the second time, in my case) is a rare treat; for Shrewsbury really is a remarkable - and remarkably beautiful - place. Why not arrange a visit and see what I mean. Having said this I ought, in all honesty, to offer a 'prospective parent health warning': most of those who visit Shrewsbury as prospective parents end up wanting to complete a registration form - more, our recent market research tells us, than happens elsewhere. Perhaps I'd better say no more! I look forward very much to meeting you.
