Learning Support and Wellbeing

Every learner is known and supported

Small class sizes allow teachers to tailor lessons to individual needs. English as an Additional Language (EAL) provision helps students build fluency and confidence, while the Tutor system ensures ongoing pastoral guidance.

Co-Curricular Life

Learning beyond the classroom

Co-curricular life is integral to the Shrewsbury experience. Every student takes part in After-School Activities, Senior Societies, and community projects that broaden their horizons and build leadership skills.

Character and Community

The House and Tutor systems foster belonging and care. Daily Tutor sessions encourage reflection, goal-setting, and discussion about wellbeing and life skills. Vertical House communities bring students of different ages together, promoting mentorship and unity.
