About Shapwick Senior

Shapwick Senior School is a pioneering co-educational day and boarding school for children 13 to 16 years. We have brought together a team of specialist teachers, speech & language therapists and occupational therapists who deliver to small classes (average size is 8) and individuals. Shapwick Senior and Sixth Form are genuinely co-educational: approximately 25 girls and 80 boys share in all social and academic activities, segregated only in housing.

A balanced programme within Year 9 ensures pupils experience all specialist subjects before selecting those to study at GCSE level. Most take seven or eight subjects, including English Language, Mathematics and Science. Choices are then made from an array of optional subjects.
