Mary Webb School and Science College is situated in a particularly beautiful location in the village of Pontesbury, just a few miles south of Shrewsbury. The site, surrounded by hills and woodland, provides an ideal setting for a school that aims to provide an educational experience firmly rooted in a rural context. They seek to open minds and widen horizons by ensuring that all students are prepared for the challenges of life in the twenty-first century. As a relatively small community secondary school of about 600 students, staff and governors, they feel that the school has a number of distinctive features that makes it a little bit special. They aim to provide an environment in which each and every student can develop and flourish and where the pursuit of excellence, in terms of personal development and academic achievement, is the aspiration of all. Relatively small class sizes, especially in English and mathematics, ensure that every student receives personal attention. Mary Webb School and Science College provide an engaging, supportive and safe learning environment that enables our students to become more inquisitive and confident as they develop into ever more articulate and adaptable learners. Ofsted have praised the schools dedicated teachers for the ‘expertise and enthusiasm’ they show, which motivates the students to learn.
