  • EDUCATION, C.1600–2000 Introduction Private Schools
    Judith Everard March 2017 EDUCATION, c.1600–2000 Introduction The Royal Free Grammar School was founded in 1552 by and for the benefit of the townspeople and under its original statutes was to offer free places to the sons of burgesses. This obligation, long redundant due to the lapse of burgess status, was abolished in 1868, with most pupils historically coming from outside the borough.1 Small numbers of those admitted as freemen of the borough in this period were designated ‘schoolmaster’. The frankpledge list for 1668 contains two schoolmasters, and those for 1709 and 1731 name four each (from 1650 to 1775, no more than one ‘schoolmaster’ was admitted in each 25- year period).2 In 1690, Edward Griffiths, churchwarden of St Alkmund, was cited before the bishop’s court ‘for teaching school without license’.3 In fact, as befitted the county town, Shrewsbury had a whole range of schools and educational provision before the 17th century, most of it informal and hard to trace in the records; the first systematic census dates from 1817.4 But there was a developing range of endowed schools which offered education to the sons and daughters of townspeople. This chapter commences with a brief account of the private educational provision from the 17th century before returning to the education of ‘the poor’ and the population at large. Private Schools By the late 17th century there was at least one well regarded private school for girls: a finishing school run by Esther Chambre and Barbery Saxfield ‘in the more fashionable part of Castle Ward near St Mary’s Church’.

  • Principal's Introduction to Shrewsbury Colleges Group
    AN INTRODUCTION TO SHREWSBURY COLLEGES GROUP General The central ethos of the College is that all students should make outstanding progress and ultimately progress to higher education or employment. The College is student-centred and all students are valued as unique and special individuals. The College was formed on 1 August 2016 from the merger of the two incorporated colleges in the town, Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology. The merger was endorsed by the Marches and Worcestershire Area Review which was published in November 2016. Shrewsbury College of Arts and Technology Corporation dissolved and transferred all its assets to Shrewsbury Sixth Form College. The newly formed Shrewsbury Colleges Group is therefore a designated sixth form college and is the largest sixth form college in the country as measured by turnover. The initial intention was for the two predecessor colleges to continue to operate as individual institutions, with Shrewsbury Colleges Group providing central services. Pre-merger, this was in anticipation of the expansion of the group. The strategic plan of the governors post-merger is to focus on a single outstanding college for Shrewsbury and Shropshire operating from three campuses in the county town. The London Road Campus offers vocational qualifications to 16-18-year-olds, higher education, Apprenticeship training and adult courses. English Bridge Campus offers A Levels as well as vocational courses in Art and Design. Welsh Bridge Campus offers A Levels, as well as vocational courses in Applied Science. Although a designated sixth form college, the College’s curriculum is broad and Shrewsbury Colleges Group is in reality a tertiary college, consisting of A Level and vocational programmes for 16-18 year olds, as well as adult education and training, Apprenticeships, higher education and community learning.
