BERRIMAN EATON
LOCAL GOOD SCHOOL GUIDE
Berriman Eaton is the leading local Estate Agency that has been serving its market place across West
Midlands, Shropshire and South Staffordshire for many years. Combining their professionalism and
vast experience in the local housing and rental market, Nick Berriman and Caroline Eaton regarded
developing a unique school guide as a natural stepping stone for keeping home sellers and buyers
well informed. “School selection is unquestionably a much major factor when looking for a new
home, so understanding and helping our clients needs was a key constituent in the development”.
“Following the successful launch last year, the 2016 guide has been improved to embrace state
secondary and primary schools in our catchment area that are rated as ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’
by their last Ofsted inspections. “We were overwhelmed by the positive response from last year’s
circulation of 10,000 copies. The free publication provided the early steps in assisting purchasers
and as before, our aim is to provide a guide to access quality education from both the state
and independent sector available from the communities we serve. We sincerely hope our new
publication will offer some informed and valuable assistance in your quest for your new home”.
Nick Berriman & Caroline Eaton, Directors
Our Top 10 Guide to buying near your preferred school
1. Plan well ahead and check the waiting list for the appropriate year
2. Don’t rely too much on Ofsted and league tables. Visit a selection of schools and find one that
suits your child’s abilities and character
3. Look for areas where there are both good primary and secondary schools
4. Meet the head teachers, make sure the good ones aren’t planning retirement
5. Check catchment area and any other criteria that could assist directly with the school
6. If you are planning for your child to walk to school, check road safety and short cuts
7. Do a dummy run and check for heavy traffic at school times
8. Talk to other parents
9. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket for an area with only one good school - look for an area
with a range of good schools
10. Be prepared to pay a premium if near a good state school, but it will be money well invested

why should you choose
tettenhall college?
A unique atmosphere with remarkable opportunities
where every pupil achieves their personal best.
F
ounded in 1863, Tettenhall College is an
independent school for boys and girls aged 2
to 18 years. Located on the outskirts of the
picturesque village of Tettenhall, the school
sits in a beautiful setting of over 30 acres of historic
woodlands. With outstanding on-site facilities in a safe
and secure environment, pupils are known, taught
and nurtured as individuals within a genuine family
atmosphere.
Pupils thrive in the School’s inspiring and supportive
environment. We are proud of the commitment of
our staff, and the partnership between the School
and parents fosters a unique atmosphere in which our
pupils flourish. Children are encouraged and supported
in being the very best they can, having a positive mindset and developing a true sense of self-worth. Manners
and courtesy are important; good humour and care
for one another central. Through the remarkable
opportunities we offer with extensive extra-curricular
activities, pupils are able to discover their own
individual talents and interests and pursue them to the
best of their abilities.
Academically, our small class sizes and focus on
the individual’s learning style ensures that our pupils
always achieve their personal best. We have a strong
reputation for the quality of our teaching throughout
our School, from the initial love of learning that is
developed in our younger pupils to the A level courses
that our Sixth Formers shine in. We make full use of
our stunning location with an on-site Forest School,
full sized rugby, football and cricket pitches plus a
swimming pool and theatre. Lessons are geared to
stimulate and stretch pupils at all levels, and teachers
effectively gauge individual ability and personal
Tettenhall Edit.indd 1
strengths to encourage the fulfilment of every pupil’s
potential.
All of the key attributes of a highly successful school
are to be found in our latest inspection reports.
These make reference to outstanding pastoral care,
excellent arrangements for welfare, good progress in
learning and academic achievement and exemplary
pupil behaviour. At the end of their school journey
our leavers are equipped with excellent academic
qualifications, essential life skills and a lasting set of
values.
Take the opportunity to take a closer look, we’d
love to show you around. To arrange a visit please
contact our Admissions team on 01902 751119 or email

a fulfilling experience
P
restfelde School has just received a ringing
endorsement after a rigorous inspection by a team
of educational experts. The Shrewsbury prep
school is delighted with the conclusions of the
Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
This best ever report praises every aspect of
teaching and learning at the school, saying that pupils
have ‘outstanding levels of knowledge, skills and
understanding’.
A team of six inspectors spent four days examining
every aspect of life at Prestfelde, which educates almost
300 pupils aged from three to 13, drawn from throughout
Shropshire.
“We are absolutely delighted with the findings of the
inspection – the assessment of life here at Prestfelde
could not be any better,” said Fiona Orchard.
Mrs Orchard took over as Head of Prestfelde in January
2016, having been at the School since 2009, firstly as the
director of teaching and learning, and more recently
as the School’s deputy head (academic). She said “We
received excellent ratings in every major category – in fact
the word excellent is used 58 times in the document. We
are very proud of the whole report but are particularly
pleased with the comments made about the high
standards of our teaching and learning,”
The inspectors concluded that the school was highly
successful in meeting its aim of enabling all pupils to
develop their love of learning, academic potential and
individual talents in both curricular and extra-curricular
activities.
Prestfelde.indd 1
The report states: “Pupils have outstanding levels of
knowledge, skills and understanding and show a positive,
reflective and resilient attitude towards learning. They are
highly conscientious.
“The broad and challenging curriculum fully supports
the school’s aims and is suitable for all ages, abilities
and needs. The sports teams have a strong record of
success, with football, cricket and tennis teams regularly
competing in county championships and pupils regularly
representing their county. Standards in music are equally
strong and the children show confidence and skills in
drama.”
It adds that the contribution of teaching is excellent,
with staff throughout the school ensuring that activities
take into account individual pupils’ learning needs.
Mrs Orchard believes that it is by ensuring that the
children’s time at Prestfelde is a happy, purposeful and
fulfilling experience that the School has achieved this
glowing endorsement of excellence.

Sixth Form at The RoyaL
S
electing a Sixth Form is a very important
decision. There are many choices available
and students need to consider not only which
subjects to take but also which school or
college’s programme and ethos are most suitable to
them.
The Royal School achieves excellent A-Level
Results in the most rigorous facilitating subjects
with a specialism in the STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Maths) subjects. However, results are
not the only criteria on which to judge a Sixth Form.
Universities and employers want to see well rounded
young people. Students need to show they have
extras to offer and this is evidenced by activities
during non-study time. Co-curricular activities tell a lot
about a student whether they are committed, a team
player, have leadership qualities, are reliable, show
determination, are supportive of peers, are organised,
etc. Without these extra activities applications may go
to the bottom of the pile.
So it is important the Sixth Form provides the
opportunities to gain these extras. The Royal School
has leadership education, competitive sports, artistic
and cultural opportunities as well as travel and a broad
range of activities outside of the classroom.
Our Sixth Formers are expected to play an
Royal Ad 186 x 134_Layout 1 07/12/2015 16:54 Page 1
integral
part in the school community through the
house system, mentoring, and community service
opportunities. They are the role models for our
younger students across the school. Personal
development opportunities include work experience,
university style seminars, a Wednesday afternoon
games session, speaker programmes, internships. The
School works closely with its alumni and other external
partnerships to provide these various programmes to
help you develop as a person. As a Free School, the
Royal will offer the Extended Project Qualification to
reinforce skills in independent learning and study.

Research helped
find a happy home
and a good school
W
hen the Humby/Devonport family decided to make a
lifestyle change and move from Northampton back
to their family roots in Shropshire, their brief was very
clear. Lisa Devonport went on several mailing lists and
described their ideal home as “within half an hour of Bridgnorth, village
location with a good primary school”. Lisa recalls that for their daughter, then only two, the move to a semi-rural location had to
accommodate for future educational needs as equally as their urge to be in lovely countryside.
Although the internet search engines produced hundreds of properties, it was word of mouth that gave a direction to the short list of
schools. Once the field was narrowed down, Lisa and her partner Ian visited some of the village schools rather than relying on the easily
obtained Ofsted reports. They were definitely influenced by the “first impression” of the school visits, Stottesdon Primary was quite
exceptional and also had an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. With small classroom sizes, an adjoining nursery and such friendly staff, this
became their first choice in the school offering and daughter Scarlett, was entered onto the waiting list.
Caroline from Berriman Eaton says: “It was only when we met the family in the office we were able to fully understand their search
requirements and engage with advice on the local schools reputations. It really highlights that the internet provides a tool, but for
genuine, useful customer service, talking directly to the local agents will give greater assistance.”
Having embarked on finding a property in the village within their criteria, then having to sell their existing house and become part of a
chain, the process was stressful to ensure that the new term schedule was met. A year on, the anxiety is a distant memory. “Scarlett is
thriving in the school with a class size of 12” and their home with views of the Clee, and a delightful pub in the lane, the family believe
they have fulfilled all their desires thanks to thorough research and planning.

TRADITIONAL VALUES
T
HE celebration of individuals and individual
talent is central to education at Shrewsbury –
both in and beyond the classroom. In whatever
sphere, a pupil will find staff to support and
encourage, enthuse and inspire him or her to exceed
their expectations and meet the challenges that lie
ahead with confidence and good judgement. The
school can be found perched high on the riverbank
of the Severn, overlooking the ancient town of
Shrewsbury and the Shropshire hills beyond.
Life at Shrewsbury is founded on a close partnership
between staff, parents and pupils to promote the
strength of family life, foster responsibility, and
balance the claims of developing individuality with the
needs of a vibrant community. To make this ideal a
living and working reality, the School cares for its pupils
in Houses. We are passionate about boarding not
just being for convenience, but in providing the best
opportunity for young men and women to develop real
confidence and belief in themselves.
We are delighted that in September 2014 we
welcomed our first cohort of Third and Fourth Form
girls, building on the outstanding success of the
introduction of girls into our Sixth Form in 2008. We
believe our traditional values and time-honoured
reputation will be enhanced by this move to full
co-education. We are committed to providing an
environment where young men and women can learn
together on foundations of trust and mutual respect.
Shrewsbury is a unique school in many ways.
We are committed to strong academic standards
and we believe in a vision of holistic education, as
demonstrated through an incredible range of different
activities and societies. Shrewsbury has a wellearned reputation for academic, musical and sporting
excellence, the Independent Schools Inspection Report
commented that Shrewsbury offered, ‘outstanding
education…outstanding pastoral care’, while the Good
Schools Guide observed that ‘‘What you get here is
a unique blend of wholeheartedness, humanity and
down-to-earth decency, a place where hard work and
fun are indistinguishable. If you like what you see, look
no further. You’ve found it.’

successful period for
shrewsbury high school
with two national awards
S
hrewsbury High School is one of the leading
independent Schools in the County with a
fully Co-Ed Prep School set in 14 acres, five
minutes away from the Girls Senior School that
is based in the centre of Shrewsbury on Town Walls.
The School is celebrating an extremely successful
18 months, having received two national education
awards. The Independent School Award was the first
such award for any school in Shropshire and was
soon followed up by an Education Business Award
for its outstanding sporting facilities and provision,
including the SHS Gymnastics Academy, its Elite Athlete
Programme and SHS Boat Club. The School received
another Independent School Awards nomination for its
innovative LEGO robotics programme.
Mrs Kate Millichamp joined Shrewsbury High Prep
School as its Head in September 2015. Welcoming
boys and girls from the age of 3, the School offers
wrap around care from 8am – 6pm and accepts the
Government’s Childcare vouchers for 3-5 year olds.
It is a lively, ambitious and very happy school with
its own woodland so that all children benefit from
regular Forest School sessions. Each child receives a
Shrewsbury High School.indd 1
stimulating and individualised education that prepares
them for the world beyond school with specialist
teachers across the curriculum from languages to
music. Boys stay at the School until the age of 13 and
the School works extremely closely with parents to
help them choose the best future school for their son,
whether it be locally or further afield. Prep pupils
benefit from sharing the facilities on offer at the
School’s Senior department so that when girls leave
Year 6 and head up to the Senior School, the transition
for them is as seamless as possible.
Michael Getty is Head of the Senior School that has a
well established reputation for outstanding academic
achievement but that offers an all-round education
with its sports, drama and music provision amongst the
best in the County. Scholarships are available at 11+, 13+
and Sixth Form.
Shrewsbury High School has its own fleet of School
minibuses that bring children to both Schools from
around Shropshire and Wolverhampton. For further
information, please visit the School’s website www.
shrewsburyhigh.gdst.net or call our Admissions Officer
on 01743 494 038.

Brindley Volvo to
open state-of-the-art
Wolverhampton facility
B
rindley Wolverhampton is a dedicated full-service
Volvo dealership, showcasing both new and approved
used ‘Selekt’ Volvos, as well as a full Volvo aftersales
programme. The business has recently announced
plans to undergo a four month-long, major refurbishment at
the dealership, taking place early 2016 until late spring 2016.
Brindley Garages Group are investing £1 million into the
Brindley Wolverhampton franchise to develop a state-of-theart dealership to encourage greater customer interaction as
part of the Volvo Retail Experience programme.
The new site is part of a global brand standard that
Volvo Car UK is rolling out across its dealer network
to coincide with major investments in Volvo’s range of
vehicles.
‘Volvo Retail Experience’, or VRE for short, will
focus on the space and design of the Wolverhampton
dealership and will be designed to reflect Volvo’s
Scandinavian-inspired values of calm, clean lines with
‘cool on the outside and warm on the inside’-style
architecture.
The development will allow the new state-of-the-art
facility to include a large interior glass window allowing
you to see all activity in the new workshops, turning
the spotlight on what is often regarded as ‘back of
house’.
James Elkes, Dealer Principal for Brindley’s
Wolverhampton dealership, said: “VRE has been
designed to tackle the challenge of bridging the gap
between an ever-improving market sector and the
current Volvo dealership customer experience.
“After being greeted by your own dedicated service
advisor in our brand new entrance, you will then be
able relax in our comfortable ‘living room’ waiting
area while you can see your vehicle in the workshop.
Brindley Edit.indd 1
Workshops are integral to your customer experience,
so by being able to see in and out of the ‘window’ this
creates a symbol of trust between us as you’ll be able
to see exactly what work the technicians are carrying
out.
“VRE isn’t just about a change of furniture though
- it’s a new way of retailing designed to make our
customers feel relaxed and at ease in an environment
that informs and provides flexible waiting, working and
assessment areas.”
