Shirley High School is a proud multicultural school with an established reputation of integrity and excellence. As a school, we continue to make significant progress across all areas of our school.  This progress includes improved academic results, an increase in the number of pupils joining our school and more pupils leaving us to attend university. This includes Russell Group and Oxbridge universities. During the last 4 years we have invested over £1 million in school facilities, improvements and resources and moved from an Ofsted grading of ‘Requires Improvement’ to ‘GOOD’ in all categories.
