About Bridgnorth Endowed School
Founded in 1503, Bridgnorth Endowed, previously the town’s grammar school, has a rich and extremely long history in education.
Today, it is a vibrant co-educational secondary school that delivers high quality teaching and a packed programme of exciting enrichment opportunities.
The school benefits from 30 acres of beautiful grounds with sports pitches and a historic Old Hall, its own on-site leisure centre, and the convenience of a town centre location in the heart of Bridgnorth.
Smaller than the average sized secondary school, Bridgnorth Endowed currently has approximately 600 pupils, which means that students, staff and parents really get to know each other.
The secure campus is a safe and healthy place for young people to learn. It provides a calm and caring setting in which everyone works together in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
Bridgnorth Endowed is a truly extraordinary school that combines its solid 500-year history with superb modern facilities and a progressive approach to education.
The teaching focuses on creating an educational experience that fires up the students’ love of learning and boosts participation in the fantastic choice of extra-curricular activities available.
Central to this is the desire to develop well-rounded young people who are able to discover their special talents and nurture strong relationships with their peers in an environment where they can thrive.
We strongly believe in providing an excellent education and, most importantly, we aim to encourage students to be successful and happy in a competitive world, and to build a bright future for themselves.
