Shrewsbury has really helped develop my character – especially coming in Third Form and seeing the kind of things people in years above you are going on and doing, it’s helped me to see where I could be in the future.
Ryan, Old Salopian (2018-23)
As parents we are very excited about the next stage of our daughter's life...Shrewsbury, and more importantly your pupils, stand head and shoulders above the rest...
Prospective Parent
I think Shrewsbury is a place where you can really be yourself and where everyone’s personality has a place.

Over my five years at Shrewsbury I have always felt that I have been pushed to the best of my abilities.
Ryan, Sixth Form Pupil
The pastoral care is exemplary. The staff generate a sense of community which then expands in the mind of every pupil into a personal consideration for the rights of others.
Elizabeth, Shrewsbury Parent
The staff at Shrewsbury are of rare quality, combining their academic strength with a real desire to teach and develop the pupils.
Alice, Shrewsbury Parent
This is a ‘happy ship’ and that is due to the lead given by the staff and the caring attitude that is instilled in the pupils.
Richard, Shrewsbury Parent
This school has given me so many opportunities to show my colours and drive myself to my own limits. And for that I am forever grateful.

Can't visit just yet? Experience our Campus from Anywhere
Begin your journey with our interactive virtual tour, then come and experience Shrewsbury in person when the time is right.
While nothing compares with experiencing Shrewsbury in person, our interactive virtual tour offers a wonderful introduction to the School and a chance to explore our remarkable campus from anywhere in the world.
Wander through our beautiful 110-acre riverside site, discover our Houses, classrooms, sports facilities and iconic buildings, and begin to experience the setting that has inspired generations of Shrewsbury pupils. Famously described by Sir Neville Cardus as home to "the most beautiful playing fields in the world", our campus is much more than a place to learn, it is a place where friendships are formed, ambitions take shape and young people discover who they can become.
Perched above the River Severn, with panoramic views across the historic town of Shrewsbury, the School has the atmosphere of a thriving village, where historic architecture sits alongside outstanding facilities.
We hope our virtual tour gives you a glimpse of what makes Shrewsbury such a distinctive place to live and learn. When you are ready, we would be delighted to welcome you for a personal visit and help you experience the warmth of our community for yourself.
