Adcote School for Girls

Entrance

Entrance is by way of interview, assessment and report from current school. Scholarships are awarded annually and based upon either academic excellence or promising abilities in any area. Examinations for Scholarships are usually sat in the Spring Term. The Old Girls Association have founded a scholarship for girls living within the boundaries of the old Adcote Estate.

Admissions

Although Adcote is an open entry school, we ask all prospective pupils to spend an acquaintance day with us. They spend the day with the girls in the year group that they will enter, and find time to take tests in arithmetic, comprehension, reading and writing. Prospective boarders are invited to stay the night, if their parents wish. There will also be time to meet the Headteacher, who will require a report from your daughter's current school. Indeed, good liaison between schools at this stage can be very advantageous to prospective pupils.

Bursaries

For those who seek entry for their daughters to Adcote, but who may not be in the position to pay full fees, Adcote has resources to help families in need. Application is through the Bursar's Form, which is a simple means test; resources are allocated on merit. Please apply to the Bursar or the Headteacher's secretary for the forms.

Transport

There is a school minibus service for those travelling daily from both the Shrewsbury and Telford areas. Parents can be assisted in making arrangements for boarders at the start and end of term if necessary. A school minibus usually collects girls from major airports and overseas boarders are assisted with arrangements for flights.
