What the school inspection says

“The quality of care and support that children receive is good. The daily routine is organised well and effectively structured, balancing academic study with opportunities to relax and have fun. Children value the school and recognise the positive benefits of boarding. They treat everyone with respect and with consideration for their needs and feelings. Many come from all parts of the world, but all become part of an inclusive community. A parent reported: ‘A truly inspirational and motivating environment for my child – physically, mentally and socially. We are privileged to be able to watch our son transform into a confident young man.’“

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.

About the school

This selective day and boarding school became fully coeducational in 2024 with the first cohort of Year 7 girls.
Tuition is free and there are fees for boarding, which is available for boys only aged 11-18.
The grammar in Newport, Shropshire, was founded in 1656 and is proud of its long tradition of academic excellence and broad extracurricular choice. Pupils can get involved in more than 40 weekly activities: sport, music and drama, plus student-led activities including an Afro-Caribbean society.
There are plenty of opportunities to learn outside the classroom through French and German trips, sports tours to Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Africa and a music tour of Australia.
The Outreach programme co-ordinates activities with local primary schools such as art and creative writing workshops and spelling bees.
