Visit us
Our Junior School sits in the heart of the Shrewsbury High campus on Town Walls in Shrewsbury. Beautiful Georgian buildings have been renovated to fit the needs of 21st century learners; light, bright classrooms with integrated technology throughout, our girls have the joy of learning in these inspiring buildings and across our beautiful site. There is no better way to experience life in our Junior School than by visiting. Explore the classroom and grounds and find out more about the benefits of our all-through girls’ school. Email our admissions team to arrange your visit or register for our Open Days.

Taster Days can be arranged at any time and are a wonderful way for your daughter to get to know us better.

Once you are happy that Shrewsbury High School is the right place for your daughter, and have received your offer letter, you must complete the online parent contract within a certain time and pay a £500 refundable deposit. We will hold the deposit until the end of your child’s final term at school and refund it within 12 weeks of their departure, minus any sums owed to the GDST or the school at that time. We cannot refund the deposit if you withdraw your child after accepting the place.
Starting School
We take great care in providing you and your daughter with a specially designed transition programme to ensure that you are all ready for this exciting move. Your daughter’s new teacher and our junior school team will work closely with you and spend time with your daughter so that when she joins us in September, she already feels right at home.
