Welcome from the head
I warmly welcome you to Smallbrook School. I am very proud to be part of this vibrant, happy and caring school where students are firmly at the heart of everything we do.
Our school is a fantastic place to learn, play and work – in beautiful surroundings in the heart of Shropshire.
We pride ourselves on making this an inclusive school with a tight-knit, family feel. As staff we are able to really get to know each student, and work to meet their needs to the very best of our ability.
We have high expectations for all the students and we value every one of them as a unique part of our community. We aim to foster a lifelong love of learning and believe that our young people deserve the very best and we work in partnership with parents, carers and members of our local communities to achieve that goal.
Our website will give you a flavour of Smallbrook school, but the best thing is to come and see our school in action for yourself. We look forward to meeting you.
