Executive Head's Welcome
For over 150 years Shrewsbury House School has been providing exceptional education. Aged 13, our boys move up to their senior schools as confident, intellectually curious young men, fully prepared for the next steps in their academic journey. Every boy is recognised as an individual and we celebrate their unique achievements and personal growth every step of the way.
Time has not stood still at Shrewsbury House: the best traditions have been maintained but this is very much a school looking forward, not back. The boys have a genuine sense of pride and are articulate, polite and confident.
Good Schools Guide
Inclusivity is at the heart of Shrewsbury House's ethos, where every boy is encouraged to take on new challenges that push them beyond their limits. From performing in their annual Year Group Concert and Play to representing the school in football, rugby, and cricket, every boy has the chance to shine. Opportunities are wide and frequent for our boys to take part in a broad range of inter-prep and national academic, sport and cultural events. The years spent with us are critically influential in developing strong independent learning skills and a robust work ethic; these in turn will provide solid foundations for future success.
Aside from the fact that our boys go on to the top senior schools and are very successful in winning highly prized Scholarships and Awards, they are also kind and compassionate individuals. Our boys develop strong independent learning skills, and a mindset where new challenges will be welcomed, where a confident, happy keenness to ‘have a go’ will override the fear of failure and where strong learning behaviours will be established, all of which will help to ensure their success at their senior school and way beyond.
Shrewsbury House’s motto ‘Alta Peto’ means ‘Aim High’; we are extremely fortunate that our boys - past and present - have contributed so much to the rich fabric of Shrewsbury House and continue to aspire to our school motto.
If our website is your first experience of our wonderful school, then let me extend a warm invitation for you to visit us in person. Come and meet me, talk to our boys and staff, you will be delighted by their energy, joy and compassion. Please contact our Admissions team arrange a visit.
Join us on a journey where your son can aim high, achieve, and be part of our vibrant legacy. We would love to welcome you!
