Forces Families
Forces Families pay no more than 10% of the gross full boarding fee at Shrewsbury School from September 2025!
Shrewsbury School is extremely proud of its military heritage, which dates back over 470 years. To this day, we continue to be home to a vibrant community of pupils from families of serving military personnel who thrive at Shrewsbury.
Shrewsbury is pleased to support the Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) Scheme provided by the Ministry of Defence through a highly generous Forces’ Bursary.
This arrangement ensures that parents who are eligible for the CEA are responsible for no more than 10% of the gross full boarding fees, with the remaining amount being covered by Shrewsbury as part of the Forces’ Bursary, supplemented by the financial assistance received from the Continuity of Education Allowance.
Shrewsbury is a school with a rich heritage that instils in all Salopians the values of service, leadership and valour.

Our Place
Our pupils and staff live and work together in a uniquely beautiful and inspirational setting. Set on the banks of the River Severn, our excellently resourced 110-acre site has a campus that encompasses the beating heart of our boarding and day community.
The site, focused around our Top and Lower Commons, provides a distinctive metropolitan lifestyle with a stunning rural backdrop. We believe that anywhere can be a classroom, and we take full advantage of our surroundings to enrich our pupils' educational journey.
Located within walking distance to the centre of the county town of Shrewsbury and with easy access to the UK’s second and third biggest cities, Birmingham and Manchester, this exceptional setting provides a place of calm within which pupils can grow and learn in confidence.
