Mary Webb School and Science College is situated in a particularly beautiful location in the village of Pontesbury, just a few miles south of Shrewsbury. The site, surrounded by hills and woodland, provides an ideal setting for a school that aims to provide an educational experience firmly rooted in a modern rural context. We seek to open minds and widen horizons by ensuring that all our students are prepared for the challenges of life in the 21st century.
As a relatively small, community secondary school of over 700 students, staff and governors, we feel that the school has a number of distinctive features that makes it a little bit special. We aim to provide an environment in which each and every student can develop and flourish, and where the pursuit of excellence, in terms of personal development and academic achievement, is the aspiration of all. Relatively small class sizes ensures that every student receives personal attention.
The curriculum at Key Stage 4 is based around a core GCSE offer. We believe that this provides students with robust qualifications that support transition to post-16 education, training and employment. GCSE examination results at Mary Webb School and Science College have been good in recent years and are above national averages for attainment and progress across the curriculum.
Our most recent published results saw 65% of our students achieving GCSEs in both English and mathematics at grade 4 or above, with 43.8% achieving GCSEs in English and mathematics at grade 5 or above. The school’s Attainment 8 score was 47.9, which was higher than the Shropshire average for secondary schools, with our Progress 8 score being +0.08. Most importantly, all our students were able to go on to the destinations they planned to in September 2025.
