If your daughter is in year 6 in September 2023 and loves coding and tech challenges, we would love her to join us for our year 6 Techathon. The first of several events for year 6 girls who are thinking about joining Shrewsbury High in year 7 in September 2024, this is a fun and informal chance for girls to spend the morning with us.

The Friends of Shrewsbury High School are looking forward to welcoming our new parents to the school at the annual ‘New Parents’ Welcome Evening’ on Friday 22nd September.

Whilst an opportunity to meet with other parents in your daughter’s year group, it is also a fantastic chance to learn more about what the Friends’ committee focuses on – and it’s all fun!

Join us for our whole school open day to find out more about life at Shrewsbury High School from Reception to Sixth Form. Meet staff and current pupils, have a tour of the classrooms and grounds and hear a presentation from our Head. A wonderful way to discover the opportunities available for your daughter at Shrewsbury High.

If your daughter is currently in year 11 and you would like to find out more about the opportunities for her in the Sixth Form at Shrewsbury High, don’t miss our Sixth Form Open Evening.  Hear from our Sixth Form team and explore your favourite subjects in our subject carousel.

We are the only all-through, all-girls school in Shropshire, educating girls from 4-18 on our beautiful town centre campus in the heart of Shrewsbury. Our Junior girls have their own distinct Junior School nestled in the heart of the Town Walls site. Our school site is a treasure trove of characterful indoor and outdoor spaces and these are just as important for stimulating curiosity, interaction and friendship as they are for providing fresh air, freedom to explore and relaxation.  Arrange your visit at a time to suit you to find out more.

Tours of our Senior School and Sixth Form are available at a time to suit you throughout the year.  Register online or email admissions@shr.gdst.net 01743 494 038 to arrange your visit.

Join us for the first of our Ready Steady Girl events of the autumn term 2023.  If your daughter is aged between 3 and 4 and is preparing to start school in September 2024, she will love getting messy in our outdoor kitchen and exploring our forest school area.

Always a popular event for year 6 girls as a great introduction to life at SHS – a morning of fun activities with senior teachers to get to know the school and some of their peers a bit better – relaxed and informal, it is a wonderful way to spend time with us and find out a bit more about what is on offer at the senior school.

Ahead of your daughter sitting the 11+ entrance assessment in January 2024, a taster day is a wonderful way for her to experience a typical day in the senior school at Shrewsbury High. She will try some year 7 lessons, meet senior teachers and spend another valuable day with other girls who will be joining her at the High School in year 7. For those girls and families who haven’t decided on the next school for their daughter, it is an excellent opportunity to get a flavour of life at SHS to help you in your decision making.
