The Derwen School

Shropshire, Shropshire, West Midlands · SY11 3JA

With just 12 pupils on roll, The Derwen School is among the smallest independent schools a family in Shropshire might consider. Such an intimate setting means each child is well known to staff, and teaching can be closely tailored to the individual. Led by Head Mr David Glaves, this mixed, non-boarding school is inspected by the ISI. Families drawn to a highly personal alternative to larger institutions will find much to explore here.

Teaching & academics

The school is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, the body that oversees standards across the independent sector. With a roll of only around a dozen pupils, classes are necessarily very small, allowing for a high degree of individual attention.

Boarding: No

The last word

An exceptionally small independent school in Shropshire, best suited to families who value close personal attention over the scale of a larger setting.
