Introduction
I am delighted to present the annual Governors’ Report. This covers the 2020-21
year and aims to report headline facts and figures of the past year to Shrewsbury
School’s stakeholders.
The academic year started with various COVID-19
restrictions but that didn’t stop Shrewsbury thriving to
its full potential – in fact, it seemed to spur everyone on.
While we were in the world of remote learning, the
Salopian community grabbed the 40in40 Lockdown
Challenge with both hands. The challenge encouraged all
pupils, staff, parents and Old Salopians to get out and
about to highlight the importance of staying active to
benefit both physical and mental wellbeing, at the same
time raising money for charity.
The year started with events taking place online – from
Salop’s got Musical Talent, to STEM Potential, to
Cambridge University Debating Competitions, and our
pupils took every challenge that they were faced with and
not only overcame them but excelled while doing so.
However, it wasn’t long before we were able to welcome
pupils and staff back on site, and to see a school full of
life again was a joy for all. Regular activities resumed
and pupils were back on stage performing their energetic
rendition of FAME, on the sports pitches for both house
and national competitions and taking part in annual school fixtures such as The Tucks, House
Singing and the festive Carol Concerts. It was like they had never been away.
We received the good news that our Futures Department was recognised for its hard work and
was shortlisted for an award in the Student Careers category of the Independent School of the
Year 2021 awards, a category that seeks schools which help its students with on-going advice and
support for their future, and we became history makers – our girls’ First VIII made history as the
first girls to win a VIII race at Henley.
I am delighted to report that the school continues to thrive and we look to the future with
confidence, retaining our focus on providing a diverse, inspiring and supportive educational
experience for all the pupils in our care.

Chairman of the Governing Body

Our Ethos
Shrewsbury School delivers whole person education in a thriving
and inclusive boarding and day school community that champions
the individual.
We believe that the true purpose of education
is the cultivation of inner virtues, life skills and
character strengths that equip our young people
with the confidence and direction to pursue
meaningful and successful lives.
Our distinctive model of whole person
education - Floreat - offers deep learning in a
challenging yet kind environment.
Academic excellence is achieved through a
wide-ranging curriculum that uncovers and
encourages a genuine love of learning, alongside
inspirational teaching that challenges each pupil
to strive for her or his own personal best.
Founded in 1552, the School is steeped in
history and heritage, but we always look to
innovate and evolve the pupil experience.
In the spirit of our most celebrated former
pupil, Charles Darwin, we believe that a truly
excellent education evolves and adapts to meet
the challenges of the present and embrace the
opportunities of the future.
After Shrewsbury, our leavers become valued
members of one of the most enduring,
dynamic and empowering educational
networks in the world. A Shrewsbury
education lasts a lifetime.
We believe that school should be ‘serious fun’:
because learning and enjoyment go hand in
hand. Learning takes place not only in the
classroom, but also through a vibrant and
demanding co-curricular programme and in the
pastoral and communal life of the School.
Standing in the Christian tradition, but with
an open-hearted approach to those of all faiths
and none, we pursue kindness, wisdom, truth
and meaning. We foster a spirit of tolerance
and acceptance. We encourage a strong sense
of community and social responsibility.
We actively promote a global outlook and
borderless mindset.

Educational
Achievements
and University
Entrants

Pupils at Shrewsbury School achieved excellent A Level and GCSE results in 2021,
despite being subject to significant stresses and pressures because of the global pandemic.
Public examinations were cancelled for a
second year in a row and the publication of A
Level and GCSE results was a unique process
of Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs), awarded
by consideration of evidence of achieved pupil
performance.
A total of 66% of all A Level and Pre-U
grades were awarded at A*, A or equivalent
and almost 87% of all grades were A* to B,
allowing over 96% of Upper Sixth pupils
to access their firm or insurance university
offers. 32 pupils achieved a clean sweep of A*
or equivalent grades, with 88 achieving an
equivalent of A* or A in every subject.
76% of all GCSE qualifications awarded to
Fifth Form pupils were graded at 9, 8 or 7
(A* or A). Five pupils achieved a clean sweep
of Grade 9s, 24 pupils achieved a full set of
Grade 9s and 8s (A* equivalent) and 67 pupils
achieved Grade 9,8 or 7 in every subject. 93
pupils (64% of the cohort) gained at least one
Grade 9.
2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
A-Level (A*, A+, B) 87 85 73 80 79 79
GCSE (A*+ A) 76 72 65 66 66 71
Shrewsbury pupils were busy enriching their academic experience outside the classroom
and in 2020-21, despite the constraints of the pandemic, they were successful in a widevariety
of academic endeavours and competitions. For example they achieved Crest
and ILM Young Leaders Awards, and participated in competitions ranging from the
Independent Schools’ Mock Trial Competition to various science and maths Olympiads.
The following examples represent the most outstanding achievements of Salopian pupils across a
field of academic disciplines, with their achievements rightly recognised by external bodies:
Eustacia (L6, M) - BBC Young Writers’
Competition, Winner on the poetry of
A.E Houseman
Mew (L6, O) – KAZ Worldwide touchtyping
champion.
Eustacia (L6, M) – Winner of the
Young Romantics Poetry Prize 2021 and
Shortlisted for BBC Young Writers Award
for a prose piece ‘A Hundred Moons’.
Phoebe (L6, MSH) – Highly
Commended in the New College of the
Humanities Essay Prize with her essay
‘Is Democracy Experiencing a Setback
Worldwide?’.
.
Issy (MSH U6) – Highly Commended
in the New College of the Humanities
Essay Prize with her essay ‘Should Robots
have Rights?’.
Chemistry Olympiad – Seventeen Sixth
Form pupils took part, achieving four
gold, five silver and five bronze medals -
well above the national average, with over
7000 participants throughout the UK.

Co-Curricular
Achievements
This section focuses on the major sporting, musical and
theatrical events, giving a flavour of some of the many
activities during 2020-21
10

It was a great joy to go back to in-person activities. For many of
our students, the co-curricular is key to their happiness, personal
development and self-esteem. Whilst the ‘Covid years’ have left us with
some areas to rebuild – and a shorter report than usual – there have
nonetheless been some notable achievements.
Drama
In the Michaelmas Term, House plays were able
to continue in house bubbles, performed to a
socially distanced and masked audience and
live-streamed to parents and the wider school
community:
The Real Inspector Hound (Severn Hill)
Pride and Prejudice (The Grove)
In the Lent term, the school was in remote;
however, we continued to run a weekly Drama
society focusing on monologues to camera.
In the Summer Term, as well as the GCSE and
A level Drama performances, we were able to
stage a further house play and a Third Form
play:
The 39 Steps (Churchill’s Hall)
The Crucible (Third Form)
We celebrated some impressive individual
achievements: two students were awarded places
in the National Youth Theatre (as actors) and
three in the National Youth Music Theatre (1
stage manager, 1 choreographer and 1 musician).
Music
Whilst many of the larger ensembles were
unable to perform, small groups such as string
quartets and chamber choir continued in
a socially distanced format. The St Cecilia
Concert took place to a small internal audience
and was live-streamed to the wider school
community.
Music exams continued to take place, with some
impressive individual results:
5 x ATCL Diplomas (4 with Distinction)
1 x LTCL Diploma (with Distinction)
24 x Grade 8 (5 with Distinction, 9 with
Merit)
9 x Grade 7 (3 with Merit)
62 exams were taken in total
One student was awarded a place in the
National Children’s Orchestra.
11

Sport
In the Michaelmas Term, all Sport took place on
site, with the focus on inter-House competitions
(including the inaugural Girls’ House Football.)
Whilst in remote during the Lent Term,
students had the opportunity to take part in
some virtual competitions, with the Boat Club
taking part in the Virtual Schools Head of the
River and the Hunt submitting times to the
virtual Coventry relays, resulting in a third place
for the boys’ VIII and an individual top ten time
for one of our Fifth Form girls.
The return to site in the Summer Term marked
a return to external fixtures in cricket, fives,
rowing and athletics, with some impressive
achievements:
National Schools Regatta – J16 boys (silver),
Championship Girls Four (bronze)
National Fives Championship – finalists
Henley was postponed to the summer holidays,
with both girls and boys training hard
throughout August. Our girls’ First VIII made
history as the first girls to win an VIII race at
Henley.
12

Activities
Whilst restricted to the school site, staff
showed admirable creativity in providing a
range of exciting activities, including the hire
of a climbing wall and bubble football and the
building of an on-site mountain-biking track.
Whilst in remote, the Voluneering@Home
initiative was a particular highlight, with
students baking cakes for care homes, gathering
contributions for the food hub and calling lonely
people in their local communities.
Similarly, the 40in40 Challenge was a triumph
of collective endeavour, with the whole school
community logging the miles they ran, walked
or cycled to raise money for House Charities.

Activities

Partnership with other schools
and youth organisations
The School’s relationship with Shrewsbury House Youth Club (known
as ‘the Shewsy’) in Everton, has continued to be key to our partnership
work.
During the year the school helped with the 2020 ‘Refreshing the Vision’ Christmas Big Give Campaign,
raising significant funds at school and in the wider Salopian Community such that match funding was
secured and over £40k raised in total. Around springtime, thoughts then turned to the logistical and
fundraising planning of September’s whole school sponsored walk.
With face-to-face visits still not possible, Dr Richard Barrett (the School’s Shewsy Liaison) organised a
series of virtual study visits, enabling all member of the school’s Lower Sixth to get to learn more about our
relationship with the Shewsy. With input from the Warden, Rev. Henry Corbett, his wife Councillor Jane
Corbett, Senior Youth Workers John Dumbell and Charlie Hughes, our students learned about the history
of the link, the current socio-economic challenges facing the Everton community and the work done by the
Shewsy with powerful illustrations using case studies.
Behind the scenes there has been much work designed to streamline and improve governance structures
– with the Headmaster and John Hutchinson leading the way towards conversion to become a Charitable
Incorporated Organisation during this reporting period.
During the year we launched our ‘STEM
Potential’ partnership with Imperial
College, London. Delivered in remote,
this was targeted at talented young Year
10 students from across Shropshire, giving
them the opportunity to develop their
academic interests and to set their sights on
top universities in due course. We worked
creatively and collaboratively with Imperial
and with colleagues from Oundle School to
provide enrichment and stretch across the
range of STEM subjects. All those selected
to take part met eligibility criteria based on
Imperial’s widening access programmes.
Elsewhere in STEM we worked with
primary and secondary schools within
the Marches Academy Trust to enrich the
curriculum with various projects led by Dr
Kathryn Broadhouse, our Science Fellow,
including a Make, Integrate and Explore
Environment Programme teaching pupils
to develop their computational skills. In
addition, she provided training for students
to peer review scientific papers via the
‘Frontiers for Young Minds’ programme.
Shrewsbury School was actively involved in
the Shrewsbury DarwIN Festival 2021, held
virtually, sourcing and hosting speakers from
around the globe to deliver expert talks on
Charles Darwin and evolution.
Shrewsbury School has been part of a
steering group working on a pilot project
with other independent schools and state
partners called ‘Expert Ed’. The concept is
to pool resource, contacts and expertise to
provide a free programme of curriculum
enrichment, careers advice and key note
speakers to Years 5-9 pupils with sign ups
across the country.
In Maths we maintained our link with
Shrewsbury Academy School Year 11 GCSE
students, with some extra Year 10 support
given during the year.
15

During lockdown periods our staff provided
enrichment subject-related talks as part of a
‘Go Further’ programme. These were offered
outside the school to local state schools and
this was greatly valued. Our Hispanic Fellow
was able to maintain support for a local
state school (The Priory School) via Teams
ensuring that Year 10 and Year 11 Spanish
students could continue to make progress.
The school provided 3 hours’ pro bono, with
another 3 hours’ as part of a SLA.
Support for bright and ambitious state school
students continued to grow for those looking
to apply to Oxbridge and / or competitive
courses such as medicine and veterinary
science. Shrewsbury staff provided individual
and group tutoring, UCAS support, advice
about entrance tests and interview practice.
Our Head Librarian offered support /
training for EPQ delivery to the subject lead
at the Marches Academy Trust.
Our ‘Futures’ Department opened up virtual
career talks and seminars to the wider
community with more than 40 schools
invited to join us. Elsewhere, our Head
of Futures, Chris Wain, is one of three
colleagues working closely in a pilot scheme
with ‘Royal SpringForward’ looking at
mentoring disadvantaged students in the care
system as they work through Sixth Form and
look towards their next steps.
A total of 12 members of Shrewsbury staff
held trustee / governor roles supporting 20
schools throughout the county, covering
both primary and secondary educational
settings and including Severndale Specialist
School. These roles were in support of both
strategic and operational functions.
In Sport, our ‘Dedicated Athletes
Programme’ continued with a remote
programme during the year. Sporting
challenges – global in reach - designed to
help young people keep fit whilst at home
were also opened up to state schools in the
county. When possible, we were able to offer
our facilities to support swimming lessons
and sport development.
In Art, virtual life-drawing sessions were
opened up to local state schools whilst in
remote. Art-related lectures were also offered.
More widely, in support of the community
more generally, the School’s activity included:
Sending links to recordings of lunchtime
concerts, house-singing and Christmas
concerts to local care homes.
Raising awareness of our partnership work
with the Food Bank + with features for the
Salopian Community around the House
Singing competition, as well as a direct
fundraising appeal during the event.
The ‘Volunteering @ Home’ initiative was a
great success, with Salopians doing much to
support their local communities in the UK
and overseas.
The school community raised over £71k for
25 charities in 2020-21, with each boarding
house raising funds for its own nominated
charity during that period.
During Outdoor Week Salopians did
environmental work for the local council.
16

The School awards charitable
grants in the form of
scholarships and bursaries.
These are an important part of our policy to ensure that the benefits of a
Shrewsbury Education are accessible to those who do not have the means
to pay the full fee.
Scholarships are prizes based on competitive examination, while bursaries are means tested awards for
talented pupils who would not otherwise be able to attend the School. In many cases, means tested awards
are used to augment scholarship awards.
The School awarded scholarships worth £3.9m during 2020-21, of which £2.7m were means tested.
Scholarships and Bursaries are funded for charitable donations, commercial activities, modest income from
the School’s endowed funds and from school fee income. The total remission figure was 14.5% of gross fee
income. Separately Packwood Haugh provided scholarships and bursaries of £0.35m (9.9% of fee income) in
2020-21.

A summary
of the financial
results

The tables and graphs below are based on extracts from the School’s
consolidated management accounts for the year ending 31st July 2021.
The net movement in funds tie to the consolidated statutory accounts
available on the Charity Commission website.
The School aims to generate an operating surplus of around 5% of education related income to reinvest in
the School for the future. (Operating surplus is defined as the surplus of the school fee income over school
operations expenditure, excluding investment and trading income and interest and fund-raising expense).
This is the second year in which the financial results of Packwood Haugh School have been consolidated
into the overall Shrewsbury School accounts. In the year ending 31st July 2021 average Shrewsbury pupil
numbers were 816 with a further 181 at Packwood. This has translated into a net operating surplus of
£0.819m. It should be noted that the overall operating surplus during 2020-21 has fallen for two reasons:
A small net operating deficit in the Summer Term 2021 as a result of the reduction in fees for the
COVID 19 lockdown during Lent Term 2021.
Packwood Haugh School is currently operating at a deficit. In the medium term the charity is working to
return this to a surplus position.

The pie chart below shows costs including fee remissions for 2020-21 of
£30.3m. Staff and utility costs remain the major areas of expenditure.

The financial position of the School remains sound. However, the School does not have substantial endowed
funds and its assets consist mainly of the school site and buildings. The School aims to raise funds to invest
in the future from operating surpluses, the generosity of its donors and from the expansion of appropriate
commercial activities.

International
Schools

Despite ongoing travel restrictions, links between Shrewsbury School
and its licensed international sister schools have continued with regular
interactions taking place virtually, including UK Governor participation
at the Advisory Board meetings, regular meetings with the international
principals and online operational linkages.
The inaugural Shrewsbury School International Leadership Seminar took place at the beginning of the year
and another meeting is being planned early next year.
Business development activity has also progressed well with the notable signing of agreements to establish
Shrewsbury International School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
A summary of progress across areas of focus is given below:
Bangkok Riverside – remains the
international school of choice in the
city, however enrolment is proving more
challenging than previously as competition
grows. The pupil roll is expected to be
just over 1800 next term, and a recently
completed expansion project ensures ample
capacity for future growth. Despite periods
of lockdown throughout the year, the school
has coped well and provided an effective
remote learning programme. The current
Head of Senior School is to be promoted
to take over as Principal at the beginning
of next academic year and other senior
leadership changes are underway.
Bangkok City Campus – enrolment
continues to grow with almost 400 pupils
expected to start next term. Links continue
to grow stronger between the two Bangkok
campuses and a new Bangkok Marketing
Director is working across both sites with a
focus on providing a unified narrative.
Hong Kong – enrolment continues to grow
with current pupil roll at 380. Strict travel
and quarantine measures in the territory
continue to pose challenges, however, the
Principal and senior team continue to do an
excellent job, ensuring the very best primary
provision.
China – the Shanghai project was
terminated due to difficulties in obtaining
an operating licence. The school in
Nansha, Guangzhou is now due to be
the founding school in China opening in
2022. A kindergarten is planned as well as
a Shrewsbury branded full international
school covering primary and secondary
years following a UK based curriculum. The
existing licence agreement is being extended
(as it previously covered only the last three
years of the school).
Cambodia – agreements were signed
with Tutor Impact to set up Shrewsbury
International School, Phnom Penh in
Cambodia working with the multinational
property developer Meridian International.
This represents a new relationship for the
School and Cambodia will be our first non-
SIA international school. The project will
be implemented in two phases with early
years (ages 2 to 5) due to open in September
2022 at a brand new existing premium city
location followed by primary and secondary
boarding and day provision on a purposebuilt
greenfield campus in September 2024.
Business Development – the focus on
identifying and partnering with new
investors to expand the Shrewsbury family of
schools into further territories continues with
progress expected in other key territories
shortly.

Buildings and
Improvements
to the School
Infrastructure

There were a number of capital projects previously delayed in 2019-20 due
to the COVID-19 pandemic that were restarted in 2020-21.
Riggs’ Hall refurbishment commenced on site in the summer of 2021, and is programmed to be
completed at Easter 2022. Also in the summer of 2021 modifications were made to the Grove to expand
its capacity for the Michaelmas Term 2021 girls pupil numbers.
The Fifth Girls’ House successfully navigated its way through the Planning Permission process, the
technical design is completed and the project is currently at construction tender. Works are planned to
start on site next year, with completion ready for Michaelmas Term 2023.
As always a number of smaller projects were started and completed in order to keep on top of key
condition items.

Shrewsbury
School
Foundation

Following the success of last year, we were humbled by the generosity of
our donors, enabling us to celebrate, again, a year of growth and success
in the Development Office, and all in support of the Shrewsbury School
Foundation.
Despite the best efforts of the pandemic,
fundraising this year increased 10% over the
prior year, which is a very valuable boost for the
School’s charitable endeavours.
Our Campaign 2020-30 is now well in-flight,
and throughout the year we held fast to our
priority of raising funds for the Means Tested
Bursary Fund. This provides qualified candidates,
who might not otherwise have been able to do
so, with the opportunity to attend Shrewsbury
School, and speaks directly to our commitment
to our social mission.
Furthermore, with this strengthened focus on
social responsibility, we have also sought to
increase the number of Transformative Means
Tested Bursaries we are able to offer. Our
definition of ‘Transformative Means Tested
Bursaries’ being those which enable young people
requiring 75% – 110% remission of fees to attend
the School.
In the year, our most recent Fundraising
Telephone Campaign raised over £360,000,
which not only hugely exceeded our target, but is
more than double the amount that the School has
ever raised before through this kind of activity.
Moreover, this campaign directed 98.18% of its
proceeds to the Means Tested Bursary Fund; a
powerful indicator of the promptness, warmth
and resonance of this cause with our alumni,
friends and supporters.
Fundraising continues to form a vital part of
the School’s capacity to deliver its mission,
influencing positively a number of the School’s
strategic objectives to 2030. Our ten-year global
Advancement strategy sets out an ambitious
campaign, with an initial focus of supporting
Means Tested Bursaries, whilst retaining the
ability to welcome some new projects alongside
in future. We are progressing with confidence
toward the School’s commitment to meet its
strategic objective of increasing the number of
Transformative Means Tested Bursary recipients
to a target of 40 pupils annually by 2030.
To those members of our global community who
are already part of the roll call supporting any
aspect of School life through the Shrewsbury
School Foundation, we are most grateful.
We remain motivated by the inspirational loyalty,
engagement, and generosity of our alumni,
friends and supporters, who enable Shrewsbury to
remain strong as a community united in purpose,
and with clarity of vision for its future.
