Academic
The school strives to balance a love of learning with robust foundations and subject preparation to enable boys to access a range of aspirational senior schools. SHS is a magical place where boys develop a healthy world view, curiosity and impressive critical thinking, while having fun in and out of the classroom. The teachers foster and encourage enthusiasm and innovation for the world beyond the classroom, helping boys to be as proud of their individual efforts as valuing the 21st century skills of teamwork, leadership and relationship skills, resilience and flexibility of mind. Indeed, a growth mindset and ‘having a go’ is behind the encouragement of appropriate risk-taking and discovery – a real feature of SHS.
Creative
There are many opportunities for boys at Shrewsbury House to develop and demonstrate their creative talents. In particular, the boys receive a broad education in all aspects of Art and Design & Technology, which are taught as distinct subjects within the curriculum.Through Design & Technology, they explore innovation and creativity within the designed world in which we all live and work, and in Art they develop their thinking skills, while also studying the creative processes used by artists across different genres.
Drama
Drama lessons provide the boys with an outlet for emotions, thoughts and ideas that they might not otherwise have means to express. The Department prides itself on being inclusive by providing opportunities within the subject for all boys in Year 3 through to Year 8. Drama establishes lifelong skills such as public speaking, teamwork, problem solving and social interaction – skills which are essential to the modern day workplace. It also encourages tolerance and empathy by allowing the boys to look at the world through the eyes of others. They pride ourselves on supporting access into other areas of the curriculum through themes, texts and topics linked across subjects. Examples of cross curricular work includes units based on Coral Reefs (Year 3 Geography), Archaeology and Ancient Civilisations(Year 4 History) and Space Adventure (Year 5 Science).
Music
‘To inspire and educate the next generation of musicians through an academic, practical and aesthetic based music curriculum’ is the mission statement of the Music Department.Music is central to Shrewsbury House. The ethos of the Music Department is that opportunity is open to all, and not just a select few. At Shrewsbury House, every boy is actively encouraged to participate in a wide range of musical activities, in the classroom, in performances and on School trips.
