Welcome to The Stourport High School (fondly known as SHS!) & Sixth Form
As Headteacher, I place tremendous importance on providing the highest standards of education for every child entrusted in our care. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to our website on behalf of the entire SHS Family. Whether you're considering the exciting next chapter of your child's educational journey with us, or you're interested in joining our dedicated team as a valued member of staff, I invite you to explore the possibilities that lie ahead.
Here at SHS, we envision a future where every child not only thrives academically but also flourishes into a well-rounded individual, ready to embrace the world with confidence and compassion. We truly believe that every single child who walks through our doors arrives with unique gifts. Our goal is to help them flourish, and our 7-year offer is a journey packed with diverse opportunities to help them discover new talents and build on the ones they already have.
"Every child celebrates their own success and the success of others."

Elizabeth Ford
Headteacher
We are proud to lead our school, which serves our town and its surrounding villages as part of the Severn Academies Educational Trust.
This is just a glimpse of our wonderful school; we warmly invite you to visit us to discover the opportunities SHS has to offer.
Our Core Pillars
A School at the Heart of its Community
We're more than just classrooms and textbooks. SHS aims to be a vibrant hub, fostering strong bonds within our community and offering opportunities for growth and shared experiences. We believe in creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where every student feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique voice. Our school is a place where friendships are forged, dreams are nurtured, and lifelong memories are created, lifting children to new heights by exposing them to the possibilities the wider world has to offer.
Building Character for Today and Tomorrow
We believe in developing well-rounded individuals. We actively teach our core values, underpinned by the moral, intellectual, performance and civic virtues, creating a supportive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to flourish both within school and beyond.
Inclusive Excellence for All
We are committed to providing a fully inclusive comprehensive education that celebrates diversity and empowers every student to reach their full potential. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to shine, regardless of their starting point. Our approach is personalised and collaborative, ensuring each student is challenged and supported. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire, encouraging students to think critically, explore their passions, and develop the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.
We believe that education is a collaborative endeavour, where students, teachers, families, and the wider community work hand-in-hand to create an enriching experience for all.
We're excited for you to become a part of the SHS family!

Inspiring the next generation of creative talent! 💡📸
For Careers in Spotlight Week, our Year 13 students caught up with local entrepreneur Chris Parkes from Surfworks.
They dove deep into what it’s really like working in a creative agency and gathered firsthand insights to help craft their personal media profiles. Hearing directly from someone in the industry helped bring real meaning to the skills and qualities needed to succeed.
We can’t wait to see how they apply these takeaways to their final project briefs! 🚀
Huge thanks to Chris for giving up his time to support our students! 🙏
🧠 Happy World Mental Health Day! 💚
World Mental Health Day takes place every year on 10 October, and it’s a moment for our whole school community students, staff, and families alike to talk, listen, and support better mental health together.
Life moves fast. Between lessons, work, friendships, and keeping up with everyday routines, it’s completely normal for anyone to feel overwhelmed at times. Looking after your mind is just as important as looking after your physical health, so today is a reminder for all of us to pause, take a breather, and check in on ourselves and each other.
No one in our school community ever has to carry stress on their own. Every single member of our staff is here to listen and support our students and families whenever help is needed. 💚
