Welcome to Shrewsbury School

Founded in 1552, Shrewsbury remains one of the great scholarly foundations of England. By valuing individuality and providing breadth, Shrewsbury offers the opportunity for pupils to know themselves and their world, and to meet the future with confidence and good judgement.

Set in a hundred acres of grounds by the River Severn and overlooking the ancient town, Shrewsbury is a community of over 700 pupils aged between 13 and 18. In September 2008 we welcomed our first intake of Sixth Form girls. We remain a school committed to full boarding education, whilst valuing our local roots and the families of dayboys and girls.

We hope this website gives you a glimpse of Shrewsbury and will encourage you to visit.
