“My daughter was incredibly impressed by the school and following her visit she has been really enthusiastic about the prospect of moving there next year. Having found such a positive home in her current primary, I think she was concerned we would not be able to replicate that safe community and supported environment in her next school. We believe we have found it in your school. We are all excited for her and the many opportunities she will be offered at Shrewsbury High” – New Parent
