Shrewsbury School was founded by Royal Charter in 1552.  Its grounds of more than 100 acres stretch down to the majestic River Severn and overlook the medieval town of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shrosphire.  Until 2008, it was a boarding and day school for boys between the ages of 13 and 18, but its Sixth Form is now co-educational with more than 70 girls currently studying there.  A second girls' boarding house is planned to open in 2011. 

The links between Shrewsbury UK and Shrewsbury International have been strong since the beginning, and grow ever stronger as the years pass.  In 2008, a highly successful orchestra tour to the UK was organised, and for the past three years Shrewsbury’s Director of Music Mr John Moore has travelled to Bangkok to be the conductor at the renowned 'Last Night of the Proms' concert.  The UK Director of Liaison, Chris Conway, visited Shrewsbury International in February 2010, and three UK governors also sit on the board of Shrewsbury International.  In 2010, two gap-year students from Shrewsbury UK enjoyed a six-month work placement at Shrewsbury International, and more are expected to follow them in 2011.

A message from Mr Jeremy Goulding, Headmaster, Shrewsbury School, UK

Through the first seven marvellously successful years of its existence, Shrewsbury International School has made a world of difference to us at Shrewsbury in England. For during those years a true partnership has developed, one which draws great richness from the obvious cultural contrasts and which finds reassuring anchorage in our deeply-help common values. It is a partnership which is effective and productive, through which shared initiatives and educational ventures are emerging to the greater good of both schools and which is firmly rooted in an uncompromising bid for true excellence in every sphere of activity.

It may be rare for schools, historically so different and geographically so remote, to discover such a fine, mutually beneficial relationship. But that is exactly what has happened in the case of these two great schools in their river-side settings. At Shrewsbury in England, whilst relishing the remarkable, 450-year history of our own ancient foundation, we derive much delight from the new dimension to our lives which our affiliation with Thailand has wrought.
