Shrewsbury House School Trust

The Two Schools
| The Rowans school |
|---|
Offers an excellent co-educational experience for boys and girls aged between 3 and 7.Situated in a quiet road in Wimbledon, with beautiful grounds and large landscaped gardens, it prides itself on providing a nurturing and welcoming start to school life, especially during those early years when key social skills and attitudes are acquired and developed for life. The Rowans School has a long-standing reputation for academic and all-round excellence and every teacher takes great pride in the achievements of each child. |
| Shrewsbury House school |
Shrewsbury House is an outstanding IAPS independent school for boys.With a superb academic record, committed staff, small class sizes and dedicated pastoral care, every boy has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Shrewsbury House School has a national reputation for success in Scholarships and Awards to top day and boarding senior schools at 13+. |
For each child, the Trust aims to provide both an outstanding academic and broad education. This is intended to draw out pupils’ abilities and academic potential, awaken and develop wider interests in life and motivate them for a successful future.
The Trustees' primary objective is to ensure that all pupils receive an education of consistently high quality, a core element of the schools' ethos and success. This has been achieved through a low pupil-to-teacher ratio and the employment of dedicated, high-quality teachers and support staff.
The principal activity of the Trust continues to be the provision of day school education for children aged between 3 and 13 years. In determining the Trust’s objectives and planning its activities, careful consideration continues to be given to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
The Trust aims to:
- Offer financial support through bursaries to those pupils who meet the required academic standards but whose parents are unable to afford the fees
- Support local and overseas charities through fundraising activities
- Play a part in assisting local state-funded schools to provide a broad education for their pupils;
- Participate in the local community, and be aware of the needs of our neighbours and to offer facilities and support where appropriate.
The Trust is administered by a Board of Governors whose members are also Directors of the Company or ‘Trustees’. The Trustees attend relevant sub-committee meetings regularly and meet as a full board once a term. The Board aims to recruit Trustees who have a range of specialist skills, in order to maintain a strong balance of expertise. Current members include experts in education, financial management, law, property development and estates, risk and insurance. No Trustee has any beneficial interest in the company.
