Joining at Year 7 (11+)

The 11+ route of the Shrewsbury Pathway offers pupils the opportunity to join the Shrewsbury Family of Schools in Year 7, at either Packwood, Terra Nova or Prestfelde, and at the same time securing a guaranteed place for Year 9 entry at Shrewsbury.

From the outset, Year 7 entrants will be immersed in our ethos of Serious Fun and whole person education - an approach that nurtures curiosity, confidence and character, continuing through to a seamless transition to Shrewsbury in Year 9.

Life in our Family of Schools offers small classes, inspirational teaching and a vibrant co-curricular programme that blends academic excellence with sport, music, drama and adventure.

Pupils are encouraged to try new things, discover their passions and grow as individuals in an environment that is both ambitious and joyfully engaging.

Why start at 11?

Pupils in the Shrewsbury Family of Schools learn to explore with wonder and to grow with ambition, ensuring they step into Shrewsbury prepared to flourish - both at school and in life beyond. 

The 11+ route of the Shrewsbury Pathway is a holistic process that begins in Year 6 with online assessments taken in the Autumn Term combined with an invitation to attend an admissions event in the following term. In addition to participating in engaging and fun activities, it’s the perfect opportunity to meet future friends, explore our 110-acre site, and gain a genuine insight into the breadth and energy of Shrewsbury life.
