It is a tradition for the 3rd years to begin their time at Shrewsbury School with an introduction to the Hunt.  The boys have a long warm up which includes a tour of the site and some basic information about the history of the school, site and - of course - the Hunt itself. They then race around the ancient Benjy route (a mile and a bit).

This will be the 21st Shrewsbury School Prep. Schools' Six-a-Side Tournament - an annual event for Under 11s and Under 13s that takes place one Sunday afternoon towards the beginning of the Michaelmas term. It is a wonderfully colourful, lively and good-natured event that ends with the presentations, tea and refreshments in Quod, our Sixth Form common room.

Having won the Year 10 County Tennis Championships in the summer term, our team of four now progresses to the next stage. This is the first of three (knockout) matches consisting of 4 singles matches and 2 doubles.

Every year around the beginning of October, the whole of Shrewsbury School takes a half-day holiday to compete in a traditional race called the ‘Tucks’. All 700+ pupils plus 100 teaching staff and 30 grounds staff migrate down to Meole Village to race a 3.5 mile route.

See The Tucks for more information.
