How do you choose the best school for your child? This is a difficult choice. You will have high expectations and will require the very best in academic attainment and pastoral care from your child’s school. Outstanding teachers and comprehensive facilities will be high on your list of priorities. However, you will also want more than this from a school; you will want a school that reflects and responds to your child’s individuality, that harnesses their strengths as they develop into a mature, responsible person with the skills and attitudes necessary in a fast changing world. We are confident that Shrewsbury High School fulfils these expectations.
We believe that it is important to have strong values underpinning one’s decisions and actions. Here are some of ours;
- Learning should be enjoyable.
- Good academic work should be valued.
- Respect is earned.
- Self-reliance is a strong virtue.
- The spirit of community is a powerful force.
- People respond better to encouragement than criticism.
- Effort is as important as achievement.
- People are individuals, not stereotypes.
However, don’t take our word for it, come and see for yourself.
