Shipston High School

Welcome to Shipston High
Jonathan Baker - Headteacher

Welcome to the Shipston High School website. We hope you will be able to find all the information you need about the school. For any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

There is nothing like a visit to the school to find out at first-hand what it is that makes this school so special. This is a unique school not least because of our small size, our attractive rural setting and, most importantly, our very student-centred ethos.

The school has achieved considerable success. In our last Ofsted inspection we were judged to be ‘Good’ with many ‘Outstanding’ features including the behaviour of our students which was described as ‘exemplary’. We have also been winning numerous national awards for the progress made by our students in their external examinations. As you may have heard, the school came ninth in the national league tables last  year for our consistent year-on-year improvement.

The key to our success is our students. They are undoubtedly our best advertisement. As visitors frequently comment, they are  highly motivated, hard-working, friendly and well behaved. Our student participation rate is also second to none. Alongside them we are lucky to have a highly qualified and extremely committed team of staff. One thing all visitors remark on is the enthusiasm and passion for learning they observe from both students and staff in the school.  

Of course you do not have to take my word for it. I very much hope that you will have the opportunity to visit us to find out for yourself.
