- Adcote School was founded in Shropshire in 1907 and is set in a grade I listed house built by Richard Norman Shaw for the Darby family, who also built Ironbridge.
- The school runs its “CLEAR” learning programme, which incorporates the ambition for the girls to be confident, to lead, to be engaged with the world, to achieve and to be resilient.
- Students are encouraged to take part in adventure tasks and experiences that test their initiative, creativity, team building, resolve, social skills and endurance. Year 10 girls take part in either the Combined Cadet Force or Wayfarers, Adcote’s own outdoor learning programme.
- Sibling and armed forces discounts are offered, in addition to academic, music, art, drama, sport, gymnastics and all-rounder scholarships.
- Old girls include the Bletchley Park codebreaker Rosalind Hudson and the actress Barbara Hicks.
