About Us
"Leaders’ ambitions and high expectations of pupils, teachers and parents cascade throughout the community." – OFSTED
Shirley High School is a proud multicultural school with an established reputation of integrity and excellence. We continue to make significant progress across all areas of the school, including improved academic outcomes, an increase in pupil admissions, and a growing number of students progressing to university, including Russell Group and Oxbridge institutions. We are committed to improving and investing in the learning environment of our pupils and staff with over £1.5 million spent on school facilities, site improvements and resources.
Our school is at the heart of a vibrant and diverse community, with our pupils benefiting from our fabulous site and leafy surroundings. Along with our clear values and ethos, this helps to create a positive learning environment for both pupils and staff. Our students are taught to display compassion, creativity, resilience, relentless drive and high aspirations, as well as the importance of being respectful at all times.
We have high expectations in all we do and believe that all our pupils can be the best in the world at whatever they decide to pursue, through hard work, determination, leadership and compassion. We strive for excellence throughout our broad curriculum and wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, whilst also ensuring that both pupils and staff are developed both in and out of the classroom.
