In pursuit of excellence -together we can make it happen this is the school motto. I was a pupil here many years ago when it was a girls Grammar school, now it is a mixed comprehensive school - known as a Business and Enterprise college. The basic school buildings are still there, but the corridors where we were blasted by cold air, snow and rain are now glassed in and there are computers and modern ideas everywhere! The Business and Enterprise training centre was opened in September 2004, giving the school conference and meeting facilities, which are often hired out by local groups and businesses. The school became an Enterprise Hub in April 2006, and was awarded High Performing Specialist School status at the start of the academic year 2007-2008. The school has also recently received 'Leading Edge' status. There is no longer a sixth form, but is in partnership with the two main local 16+ colleges (Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology), which many of the students go on to attend. Every year the school holds a variety concert organised and presented by Year 11 Drama and Music Officials, with support from the School Improvement Facilitators (formerly Heads of Department) of Drama and Music. The event showcases dancing, singing, drama sketches and even stand-up comedy, all performed by students. There is still a large playing field and tennis courts and school meals are still provided. read more

I was also a pupil and left in 1976 after A Levels. I remember the top corridor always leaking in wet weather and how serious a 'sin' it was to dare to wear black tights! read more
