A girl’s years at Shrewsbury High School may be the only time in her life that she will be in an environment that is designed solely with her in mind, with people that put her at the centre of all they do.

As specialists in girls' education, we tailor our teaching to the way girls learn best.

We are the only all-through, all-girls’ school in Shropshire and we deliver innovative learning for girls aged four to eighteen. From Reception to Sixth Form, they learn in an environment where every girl thrives.

Girls have been at the heart of everything we do for 140 years.  We focus on helping our girls to develop the skills and character to prepare them for the future. They learn to be confident, positive and fearless. We want each and every one of them to feel known, supported, confident and able to shine and to leave us prepared to shape the world in which they live.

 

 

“The best person in school at Maths was a girl; the best person at Physics was a girl and the best person at Art was a girl…just being told you have the right to reach as far as you possibly can is such a gift to give a young women.”

SHS alumna and founder of Good-Loop Amy Williams

Girls’ education matters because it ensures that girls get the bespoke attention that they need to flourish. In a girls-only environment there is less reason to adapt behaviour for others, or to adopt moderating roles in discussion which often allows louder voices to take the lead in class or in co-curricular activities.

Free from stereotyping and with all opportunities available to them, our girls don’t play second fiddle to anyone. They are free to play all the roles within school life and they do better academically and socially as a result.

These are exciting times for girls.
