Choosing the Right School
Combining strong traditions and a modern outlook, Ellesmere College is a school that values characterand prepares young people not just for exams but for being life-ready
Nestled in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, Ellesmere College is more than just a school; it’s a vibrant, nurturing community where students are encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and personally. On Saturday 26th September, they are inviting families from across North Wales and beyond to experience this for themselves at their annual Open Day.
Whether you’re a day pupil, a weekly boarder, or a full boarder, life at Ellesmere is enriching, supportive, and full of opportunity. Their various boarding options reflect the diverse needs of modern families, offering the chance to experience the benefits of a close-knit community while maintaining the right balance between school and home life.
Day pupils enjoy full access to our extensive co-curricular programme and facilities, while weekly boarders benefit from the structure and camaraderie of boarding during the week and return home for weekends. Full boarders immerse themselves in the full Ellesmere experience, forming lifelong friendships and enjoying a vibrant calendar of activities, trips, and events.
Ellesmere has long been known for its commitment to developing the whole child. From the youngest pupils in Lower School to Sixth Form students preparing for university and beyond, their approach is rooted in a balance of academic rigour, creative expression, and personal growth. Ellesmere offers an education that prepares young people not just for exams, but for life. Whether it’s through their internationally recognised sports programmes, their thriving arts and music departments, or their innovative curriculum that includes both A-levels and the International Baccalaureate, Ellesmere offers opportunities that are truly distinctive.
What really sets Ellesmere apart is its atmosphere. Visitors often comment on the warmth and friendliness they feel the moment they arrive. Their students are confident, articulate, and grounded, qualities that stem from a school where every individual is known and valued.
The Open Day is a chance to meet these students, speak with the dedicated staff, and see first-hand how their ethos translates into everyday life. Throughout the day, guests will enjoy guided tours of their beautiful campus, including state-of-the-art facilities, boarding houses, and the historic main building. There will be opportunities to explore classrooms, watch live demonstrations, and hear from the Head, Teachers, current pupils and parents about their Ellesmere experience. Whether you’re considering day or boarding options, or simply want to learn more about what makes the school unique, the Open Day is the perfect starting point.
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Ellesmere, they believe that education should be inspiring, inclusive, and tailored to the individual. The school hopes you’ll join them on Saturday 26th September from 10am – 1pm to discover how they bring that belief to life.
