Welcome to St. Andrews Educational Institution, Shifnal
At St. Andrews, we believe education is more than lessons and exams—it’s about nurturing curious minds, building character, and empowering students to thrive in an ever-changing world. Located in the heart of Shifnal, our institution is dedicated to providing a rich, holistic learning experience that goes beyond the classroom.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver high-quality, inclusive education that respects individual potential and fosters intellectual growth, emotional resilience, and social responsibility. We are committed to creating an environment where every student, regardless of background, can discover their strengths and pursue excellence with confidence.
What We Offer
We provide a comprehensive curriculum designed to engage diverse learning styles and interests. From core academic subjects to creative arts, sciences, and modern languages, our programs are thoughtfully structured to challenge and inspire. Beyond academics, we offer a vibrant range of extracurricular activities—including sports, music, debate, and community service—that help students develop leadership, teamwork, and lifelong passions.
About Aurora Winslow
As the founder and director of St. Andrews Educational Institution, I, Aurora Winslow, bring over two decades of experience in educational leadership across the UK and New Zealand. My journey began in the classrooms of rural England, where I witnessed firsthand how transformative education can be when delivered with care, creativity, and high expectations. Though I now reside in Wellington, New Zealand, my commitment to Shifnal’s educational community remains deeply personal. I established St. Andrews to honour the quiet but powerful impact that thoughtful, values-driven schooling can have on young lives.
Why This Institution Exists
St. Andrews was born from a simple belief: that every child deserves an education that sees them as whole people—not just students. In a time when standardisation often overshadows individuality, we chose to build something different. We prioritise small class sizes, mentorship, and meaningful relationships between teachers and learners. Our resources, faculty, and facilities are all aligned with one goal: to help students not only succeed, but to flourish.
Our Values
We approach education with integrity, compassion, and rigor. Our faculty are not just subject experts—they are mentors who listen, adapt, and inspire. We value curiosity over conformity, effort over perfection, and community over competition. Every decision we make, from curriculum design to student support, is guided by these principles.
