Year 9

Joining Shrewsbury in the Year 9 (Third Form) marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey, rooted in the ethos of our whole person approach to education.
From the moment they arrive, new Third Formers are warmly welcomed through Foundation Fortnight – an engaging two-week introduction to Shrewsbury life. This focused time helps every pupil settle in, make friends and start to feel at home, whilst capturing the essence of Shrewsbury: a blend of curiosity, creativity, friendship and challenge, all shaped by our belief in character, kindness and intellectual ambition.
Our academic results consistently place Shrewsbury among the country’s leading schools, with pupils progressing to top UK and international universities. Yet our true strength lies in producing balanced, confident young people who leave ready to make a positive difference – guided by the values and friendships forged at Shrewsbury for life.
