Inspection Report

Shrewsbury High School recognised as Excellent in all areas.

"Pupils highly positive attitudes to learning demonstrate their drive and determination. They are enthusiastic and ambitious learners with a genuine desire to succeed."

Following our Focused Compliance and Educational Quality Inspection in November 2022, the ISI has given Shrewsbury High School the highest rating obtainable with the key findings that the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements, and the quality of pupils’ personal development are excellent.

At the heart of our mission is a promise to deliver excellence consistently and reliably for all our pupils.  We hold this promise very dear and so we are absolutely thrilled that the ISI, having intensely scrutinised and observed our school at every level, and in every aspect of the education we provide from Reception to Year 13, concluded emphatically that we deliver on that promise.

 

The quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent.

Pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding are notably strong and they are willing to take risks with their learning.
