Newest Review: ... of Shrewsbury School's buildings (with the exception of the dining hall and the Lyle buildings, which are very 60's and disastrous). The actual site itself has a remarkable location. It overlooks the town and the river Severn, being on top of a small hill, and is out of the way yet only 5 minutes walk from town. The headmaster is Jeremy Golding, an ex-housemaster at the school and a sucessful headmaster at a number of school's before he took over from Ted Maidment last summer.

When I first went to this school in year 7, I that it was going to be a great school with money and a school that was really going somewhere. As I soon realised, it wasn't as good as it was cracked up to be. KES boys are seen as 'posh little boys' who NEVER dont behave and this is how they are expected to act.
