Shrewsbury School

Shrewsbury is a leading co-educational boarding and day school, founded in 1552, whose aim is to educate and empower each pupil to flourish in life and contribute positively to the world around them. At the heart of the School's mission is a commitment to championing the individual through a thriving, inclusive community where every young person is encouraged to discover and develop their unique talents. Shrewsbury's educational philosophy is centred on Floreat, our distinctive model of whole-person education. This approach nurtures intellectual, active, expressive and reflective development, fostering academic excellence alongside character, creativity, resilience and wellbeing. We believe that the true purpose of education extends beyond examination success to the cultivation of virtues, life skills and personal strengths that prepare pupils for meaningful and successful lives. Guided by our motto, Intus Si Recte Ne Labora ("If all is right within, trouble not"), we promote values of kindness, wisdom, integrity, curiosity and service. Academic ambition is balanced with a rich co-curricular programme and a strong pastoral framework, creating an environment that is both challenging and supportive. Steeped in history yet forward-looking in outlook, we encourage pupils to develop a global perspective, embrace diversity and approach the future with confidence, compassion and a lifelong love of learning.
