Specifically, Shrewsbury School delivers ‘whole person’ education in a thriving and inclusive boarding and day school community that champions the individual. Founded by Royal Charter in 1552, Shrewsbury School is one of the nine ‘great’ schools in England. Over the centuries it has grown in size and reputation and is now ranked amongst the leading co-educational boarding schools in the world. Together with its prep school, Shrewsbury School (UK) educates over a thousand pupils aged 4 to 18 years on two breath-taking campuses, including its 110-acre site on the banks of the River Severn.
Campus life at Shrewsbury School (UK)
At Shrewsbury School in the UK, pupils participate in a wide range of sporting, musical and co-curricular activities along with being encouraged to engage in adventure and charitable endeavours. The academic provision at Shrewsbury School is tailored to the needs and enthusiasms of the individual and engages pupils in a learning process that combines inspirational teaching with a lifelong commitment to encouraging intellectual curiosity. Shrewsbury School aims to ensure that all its pupils leave as fully rounded, well-educated and responsible adults, committed to contributing to society.
British education is perceived as the gold standard globally. Shrewsbury School delights in playing its part in disseminating it by developing outstanding schools around the world. Our first international school, founded in Bangkok back in 2003, has become the benchmark for quality education in that city. So successful has the venture been that a second campus was established in Bangkok in 2018 to keep up with demand, whilst at the same time opening a new school in Hong Kong.
The school has a distinctive and clearly articulated educational philosophy and ethos that is centred around the ‘Floreat’ concept (Educational Philosophy PDF). Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh puts ‘Floreat’ and Shrewsbury’s values at the heart of all we do here in Cambodia.
Shrewsbury School (UK) is governed by a group of individuals who have a rich and relevant experience of independent school education and some of these people are also members of the Advisory Board of Governors for Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh (see HERE for more details).
Pupils at Shrewsbury School (UK) routinely attain strong external qualifications securing competitive offers at universities in the UK and further afield in the world, including impressive entry numbers to Oxford, Cambridge, Russell Group Universities and the Ivy Leagues. Similarly, strong external exam results and the best university offers are secured by Shrewsbury School graduates in Bangkok. Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh will enable pupils to secure equally impressive external exam outcomes and university places.
