At Shrewsbury India, the House System is more than a tradition- It is a way of life, shaping confident, well-rounded individuals ready to make their mark on the world.
The House System is an integral part of campus life, fostering a deep sense of belonging, camaraderie and community spirit. From the moment they join, every pupil becomes a valued member of a house, embracing the Salopian spirit in their daily experiences and building connections that last a lifetime.
Opening in August 2025, our purpose-built boarding houses - One for boys and one for girls - offer a comfortable and enriching residential experience. Each house accommodates up to 64 pupils, fostering a close-knit and supportive community.
Junior and middle school boarders will enjoy triple study bedrooms, while senior school pupils will benefit from twin study bedrooms, complete with an en-suite bathroom.
Beyond the bedrooms, boarders have access to a range of communal spaces, carefully designed to support relaxation, study and social interaction. These include a well-stocked house library, a dedicated pantry, an entertainment zone and an indoor and outdoor lounge.
A distinctive aspect of our house system is the vertical integration of different age groups. As a part of this, pupils get various opportunities to interact and learn from one another. Senior pupils guide the younger ones and help to create a supportive, family-like atmosphere. This structure strengthens bonds across year groups, ensuring every pupil remains deeply connected to their school community throughout their educational journey.
Pupils also benefit from continuous, personalised support from their Housemaster or Housemistress (HsM), backed by a dedicated pastoral team that includes Assistant Housemaster or Assistant Housemistress (AHM) and House Administrators, each of who will reside within the boarding house. This close-knit network enables us to closely monitor both social and academic progress, ensuring the overall development of each pupil.
The House System also fuels a spirit of healthy competition and celebration. Throughout the year, pupils participate in a wide range of inter-house events and competitions, spanning sports, music, performing arts and other creative activities. These activities inspire teamwork, leadership and excellence, while reinforcing a culture of achievement and mutual support.
