Shipston High School is a high-achieving 11-16 school in attractive rural surroundings.
Shipston High School has a unique school atmosphere, arising from our high expectations and our student-centred ethos. It is an ethos in which our teachers are able to focus on the wellbeing and academic progress of our young people. As a result, both students and teachers flourish.
This is a hugely exciting time for the school. At this point of significant national change in education, we are highly ambitious for our students and we recognise that our staff are essential to their success. Examination results have shown impressive attainment in the last few years and, as a result, the school is regularly oversubscribed.
Our students are our best advertisement. They are motivated, hard working and well behaved. In July 2023, Ofsted noted that ‘pupils are mature, polite and considerate of others’, further observing that ‘Pupils show positive attitudes towards learning’.
