Joining at Year 10 (14+)

For some pupils and families, the start of the two-year GCSE programme is the perfect time to join Shrewsbury. We warmly welcome Fourth Form (Year 10) applications - a chance to begin a new chapter within our caring, ambitious and vibrant community.

Why join at 14?

• Start the GCSE programme in a dynamic and supportive environment, where pupils benefit from being part of a year group focused on the next stage of their academic life.
• At the beginning of the Fourth Form, you join a school with serious academic ambition and a wide breadth of opportunity: Shrewsbury students embark on the two-year (I)GCSE path, choosing from a broad range of subjects and building solid foundations for the Fifth Form and beyond. 
• You will arrive in a lively, age-appropriate year group, ready to integrate quickly and make your mark - whether as a day pupil or a boarder.
