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!

🇫🇷 SHS On Tour – A Trip to Remember 🇫🇷✨
As our Paris 2026 adventure comes to an end, we wanted every student to take home something truly special.
Alongside their official tickets from unforgettable experiences — climbing the Eiffel Tower, cruising along the Seine, and experiencing the magic of Disneyland Paris — we’ve also gifted them a collection of keepsakes gathered throughout the trip.
What they didn’t know is that teachers have been quietly and secretly picking these up along the way, adding to the collection at each stop.
🧲 A magnet from the aquarium — where our journey in France began.
🗼 A postcard from the top of the Tour Montparnasse — capturing the Paris skyline.
💶 A souvenir Eiffel Tower banknote — marking our visit to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
🔑 A key ring from Montmartre — full of character and charm.
🍬 A tin of Disney sweets.
🪙 Chocolate coins from Disney.
🖊️ A Disney pen.
🧲 And a Disney magnet — celebrating a day filled with excitement and joy.
These aren’t just souvenirs. They represent shared laughter at the château, unforgettable views across the city, world-famous landmarks brought to life, and friendships strengthened over four incredible days.
A small surprise to say thank you to a brilliant group of students who have represented SHS so well.
Paris 2026 — a trip none of us will ever forget 🇫🇷✨
