Shiplake College

School Profile

Founded in 1959, it has a very attractive site on the north bank of the Thames, 2_ miles upstream from Henley. It is based on the historic Shiplake Court, around which first-rate facilities and comfortable accommodation have been created, including a new upper sixth house. C of E services take place in the adjoining 12th-century village church. There is a broad academic mix of pupils, of whom three-quarters proceed to degree courses. Day girls have been admitted to the sixth form since 1998. The school aims to allow pupils to develop their own potential and confidence and their individual talents. It is strong in art, public-speaking, debating, drama and music. There is a very good record in sports (especially rowing). Sport or games is compulsory four afternoons a week. CCF is voluntary and there is emphasis on outdoor pursuits and adventure training (expeditions to Kenya and Iceland). About 25 minor extra-curricular activities available. Considerable participation in local community schemes and an impressive record in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
