Harlescott Junior School is a thriving, happy and caring school, with a strong commitment to working in close partnership with parents and the wider community. We are positioned on the north side of Shrewsbury not far from Haughmond Hill. The school originally opened in 1931 and is a larger than average sized junior school for Shropshire. Most of our pupils live within the surrounding area and some from the wider Shrewsbury area. The school leadership team consists of the Headteacher and a Deputy Head, along with a SENDCo and two Key Stage Managers. The school has a very supportive Local Governing Body, who are very much involved in the school throughout the year. We had a very successful Ofsted inspection in May 2023, maintaining our ‘Good’ rating overall and gaining outstanding for behaviour and personal development.

At Harlescott Junior School we continually strive so our children will become inspirational role models. They will benefit from a bespoke curriculum delivered through engaging learning experiences in a safe, happy, nurturing environment. Our children will be educated to a high academic standard and they will leave our setting having grown into emotionally resilient individuals. When children leave us, they will have the solid foundation that will allow them to build a successful, exciting and fulfilling life.
