Shiplake College — school buildings and grounds

Shiplake College is an independent co-educational boarding and day school for pupils 11-18. Situated in 45 acres of beautiful Oxfordshire countryside near Henley-on-Thames, we offer an outstanding education based on small class sizes, excellent facilities and dedicated teaching staff.

We have had a co-educational sixth form since 1998 and have welcomed younger girls since September 2023, meaning we will be a fully co-educational day and boarding school by 2027. Our co-educational year are currently made up of around 40% girls.

We are a small community of around 540 boys and girls, where the ethos of 'Inclusive, Individual, Inspirational' is embraced. Shiplake has a wholly inclusive environment spanning all areas of College life. All pupils are valued regardless of academic prowess, artistic flair or sporting ability, with opportunities for all to join in and try new things.

Each and every boy and girl becomes extremely well known to all the staff. We are renowned for providing exceptional pastoral care, underpinned by our traditional house system. All aspects of pupils' welfare and progress are continually monitored, to ensure they remain contented throughout their time at Shiplake.
