About Mary Webb School and Science College

THE SCHOOL AND ITS AREA
Mary Webb School and Science College serves a rural  community to the south west of Shrewsbury, based in the  large village of Pontesbury. The school is surrounded by farmland and is situated at the  foot of Earl’s Hill; Shropshire Wildlife Trust’s first nature reserve.  Mary Webb School and Science College is a popular, thriving and successful secondary  school which is over-subscribed in relation to its PAN of 604, but small in relation to the  national average for 11-16 schools. The school is led by Headteacher Peter Lowe-Werrell,  who is ably supported by a team of very capable and well-qualified professionals who  deliver high-quality teaching to all students.  Mary Webb School and Science College converted to an academy in January 2019, as  a founder member of the Central Shropshire Academy Trust, before joining TrustEd  School’s Partnership in 2022, becoming part of TrustED CSAT Alliance.

CHALLENGE, OPPORTUNITY AND PARTNERSHIP
The school places great value upon partnership in education and there are strong links with the local schools and community, local industry and county support services. Relationships between staff and students are excellent. Staff, students and parents are asked to think of education as a partnership between the home and the school.
Mary Webb School & Science College provides a quality education through the provision of challenge and opportunity for all. On leaving us, students value learning, are capable of using initiative and have acquired the skills for independent study. They will be able to relate and communicate with others and be mature, caring, responsible, self-disciplined individuals.
For students the challenge is to be adventurous, to take full advantage of the wide range of opportunities available and to strive for the highest possible standards in everything they attempt.
