All information relating to an application is compiled by the Admissions Team and a standard file presented to The Principal who will make a decision as to whether an offer is to be made in reference to the selection criteria.

Following the decision, parents are notified by the Admissions Team as to whether the application has been successful or not. If successful, a Letter of Offer will be sent together with an Acceptance of Place Form.

Feedback is usually available to parents within five working days.

The Acceptance of Place Form must be signed and returned, along with any associated fees due and agreement to the associated Terms and Conditions to secure their place.

It may be possible that a student meets the entry criteria but a place is not available. In such circumstances, the student’s name will be added to our Wait Pool for the appropriate year. The Wait Pool is cleared at the end of each academic year. At this point, applicants still interested in enrolling at Shrewsbury will need to resubmit their application.
