"We're proud to achieve!" - school motto

Shifnal is situated in the beautiful county of Shropshire.

The school has open aspects to fields and woodlands and we have the benefit of sharing the site facilities and expertise of Idsall Secondary School, which has Sports College status.

Extension activities are organised for the more able pupils, including French lessons.

Children are encouraged to take up instrumental tuition delivered by the Shropshire Music Service and our school staff.

Pupils from each class sit on the School Council and take their responsibilities very seriously.

Once a week older pupils serve lunch to Shifnal senior citizens in the dining hall.

There is a rota of librarians who look after the refurbished library.

The excellent nursery at the school, led by highly qualified staff, won an achievement award from the department of Education and Skills in 2001 and more recently a prestigious, nationally recognised Quality Award Mark for excellent practice in Early Years Education in the Nursery and Reception classes.

Pupils are praised for demonstrating good behaviour and citizenship in the wider aspects of the community in Shifnal and for success in whatever field.

There is a house system named after traditional local trades, Currier,Dyers, Saddlers and Tanners, and pupils are allocated a House on joining the school.

In the summer term there are seperate Sports Days for KS1 and KS2.  The results of the events count towards the House Cup at the end of the school year.

There are many after-school clubs including football, hockey, netball, rounders, tennis, cricket, crafts, dance and music.

During the autumn term Year 5 pupils have swimming lessons.

The Under 5 Foundation Stage play area is used throughout the year.

Pupils watch as the new water fountains are fitted at the request of the School Council.

The school has a purpose-built, newly refurbished, cookery area, which is used by all pupils.

The school promotes healthy eating by asking children to bring fruit or vegetables for morning break.
