Preparing our students for life beyond Town Walls

Shrewsbury High School has a proud history as pioneers, preparing students for an ever-changing world. We want to prepare our students for life, not just exams – we are bridging the gap between education and the workplace so that our students feel inspired today and excited for tomorrow.  Our students are equipped with skills and abilities to feel prepared to contribute to shaping the world around them and be their own agent of change.

Period X - life skills for a modern world

Period X is our award-nominated life skills and enrichment programme that takes place at the heart of the week every Wednesday for every pupil.  Pupils learn vital life skills from basic car maintenance and DIY to interview preparation, personal finance, gardening and yoga.

Women Mean Business

Our flagship Women Mean Business online conferences provide opportunities for ever-greater diversity of thought and discussion and our pupils have the chance to hear from panels of women from a variety of backgrounds and careers.
