An Introduction from Headmaster, Leo Winkley
We reach the three-quarter point of this Michaelmas Term and a Coach Weekend arrives in the context of a national lockdown in England. Academic learning has continued apace alongside a busy co-curriculum. Yesterday we enjoyed a remarkable on-site version of Field Day. In my quick tour of the site I saw pupils engaged safely and purposefully in climbing, orienteering, mountain-biking, rifle-shooting, camp-craft, coracle-building, First Aid, choral recording, bird-ringing, film-making, STEM investigations and various pupil-led projects. They were having a Field Day!
The final three weeks of term will see several collective events delivered under different and distanced formats: the St Cecilia Concert, the Christmas Carol Service and the House Singing Competition will all go out virtually, providing a fitting communal finale to this most exceptional of terms. We look forward to it.
Meanwhile, as ever, I send my very best wishes to all Salopian households.

Power of Partnerships - An Update on Partnership and Community Engagement
This week Shrewsbury School has been celebrating and raising awareness of its wide-ranging partnership and community engagement work – proudly adding our contribution to the wider national picture of the exciting and important work in this area being showcased by the Independent Schools Council – see #schoolstogether and #powerofpartnerships.
Staff and pupils at the school are involved in dozens of projects, covering all aspects of the Salopian experience – academic, co-curricular and pastoral. Great time and energy goes into the planning and delivery of these projects, but the effort is always worthwhile as we engage with partners, collaborating for mutual benefit. The sheer range and quality of what we achieve together gained recognition in this year’s Independent Schools of the Year awards – an accolade we can quietly enjoy, but one which spurs us on to do even more!
