Advantages: great school

Disadvantages: the fees

I am currently in the upper sixth form of this school in School house. I have been here for five years.

The school is set on the other side of the river severn over looking the town of shrewsbury. Thereae i total 11 houses. two of which are for day boys the rest are bording houses.

The school sit is very vey nice. There are acres of playing fields, boat house, New buildings includint the £10 million school opened by the prince of wales.Last term. The buildings them selves are very nice inside., The main school buliding Is being refurbished to have the latest techology installed, it is estimated that in 3 years there will not be a scrap of paper in sight.

The houses them selves are very good. They are competative and very atomospheric. As you have to live in ne with about 50 other boys you soo learn to lke abnd care for one another.

The teaching standard hee is very good. in almost all subjects A an A* grades are the ly grades achieved in both a level and GCSE.

The year groups here range from the 3rd fom (yr 9) to the upper sixth form. when you foirst arrive it is very very hard you have to do everythng for the house, bring up braed from the cantine, take the washing out etc etc etc.

The hosues are split into dorms, bedsits and sudys. In the s3rd 4rth and 5th form you are given a dorm and a study which is shared with about 5 other boys. In the 6th form you ae given a bedsit for your self which is a study and a dorm in one.

the school day starts at 8:30 and finishes at nne at night. you have 8 lessons on mon. teus. and fri. 6 on wed and thurs. and 5 on sat. the lessons are 35 mins each. There ae 6 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. then there is a 2 hour homwork period that starts a sevenoclock at night whic is called top schools. This is only done during the week.

The school is very atmospheric and cometative. It is one of the top public schools in the contry. anyonentersted should go to WW
W.Shrewsbury.org.uk. The only downfall s the fees £80,000................................
