At Shrewsbury, we are passionate about the serious fun of learning
We believe that pupils flourish when they feel happy, valued, and genuinely cared for. At Shrewsbury International School India, our heartfelt commitment to exceptional pastoral care lies at the very foundation of each pupil’s journey, echoing the time-honoured traditions and values of Shrewsbury School in the UK.
At the heart of our pastoral approach is the conviction that well-being and academic success go hand in hand. We strive to nurture not only intellect, but also character, resilience, and kindness—ensuring that every pupil feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
Our House System is central to this philosophy. Inspired by the long-established house traditions of Shrewsbury UK, our Houses serve as warm, inclusive communities where friendships are fostered and a deep sense of belonging is cultivated. Within each House, pupils are supported by a dedicated team of Housemasters and Housemistresses, Tutors, and House Administrators—trusted adults who know each pupil well and who provide personalised guidance, consistent encouragement, and heartfelt care throughout their school years.
This close-knit support system nurtures mutual respect, self-discipline, and empathy—values deeply embedded in a Shrewsbury education. The House becomes a true home from home: a space where young people can be themselves, forge lasting friendships, and grow in confidence and compassion.
Beyond the Houses, our teachers are active participants in the broader life of the school. Whether on the sports field, in music rehearsals, drama productions, or outdoor learning activities, they engage in the experiences that help shape each pupil’s character. These meaningful interactions deepen trust and foster mentoring relationships that inspire pupils to become the best version of themselves—both in and out of the classroom.
Drawing on the proud legacy of Shrewsbury School UK, our approach to pastoral care reflects a belief in nurturing the whole person. With a network of attentive mentors and a culture grounded in kindness and community, every pupil at Shrewsbury International School India knows they have someone to turn to—ensuring they feel safe, supported, and truly ready to flourish.
“Pastoral Care at Shrewsbury isn’t just a system - It is a promise that every child is offered a vibrant nurturing community - A place they can call home.”
