Offers

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.

Now comes the exciting part!  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 first step in her educational journey.  Our Reception teacher will work closely with you and spend time with your daughter so that when she joins us in September, she feels right at home.
