Shrewsbury School and Terra Nova School Announce Merger
Shrewsbury School and Terra Nova School are delighted to announce a full merger that will see Terra Nova become part of the Shrewsbury global family of schools from 1 August 2025.
For many decades, the pathway from Terra Nova to Shrewsbury has been a popular and successful choice for pupils and parents. Both schools share a deep commitment to excellence and place equal importance on academic excellence and the cultivation of character and skills for life. The Terra Nova motto, Labor et Ludus – ‘Work and Play’ – chimes perfectly with Shrewsbury’s commitment to the ‘Serious Fun’ of whole person education.
“At a time of considerable change in the independent education sector, it is important that schools that are closely aligned in their educational aims and ethos, come together to form the strongest alliances to ensure the best all-through journey for the children in their care. We are delighted that Terra Nova is joining the Shrewsbury School family and look forward to working together for the benefit of both our communities.” James Pitt – Chair of Governors, Shrewsbury School
“I am delighted that Terra Nova School is joining the Shrewsbury School family. Through our shared ethos, purpose and vision this partnership secures a bright and optimistic future for Terra Nova and permits opportunities to enhance our excellent educational offering and pupil experience.” Eleanor Lees-Jones – Chair of Governors, Terra Nova School
