We are a selective school, but welcome a broad range of academic abilities. What is far more important is the sort of person you are. And what excites us is the sort of person you can become. A broad curriculum offers opportunities for all, while outstanding facilities provide an abundance of co-curricular activities – Shiplake provides a truly holistic education. Above all, rigour lies at the heart of everything we do and our focus is on adding value to every single pupil. Our fuel is ambition and aspiration, and the commitment to always seek improvement. This is a school in which the little things matter and from which great things can be achieved. It’s cool to care and try hard. The central pillars of Shiplake are its core values, the 3I’s, ‘Inclusive, individual, and inspirational’. This is our DNA and gives us direction, provides cohesion, and fosters a genuine sense of mission. We are a family and look after each other, the wellbeing of both pupils and staff is paramount. Every person matters. Our setting is beautiful and uplifting. Who else can boast lunch in the Great Hall while watching our world class rowers train on the Thames. But it is the people who provide the magic and create Shiplake’s authentic and unique culture. When you walk through our doors you will be greeted by warm smiles and exuberant waggy tails. Come and visit us and experience the magic for yourself.
