Adcote School for Girls has been named a Finalist for Outstanding Fundraising Achievement at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2025. The award recognises schools demonstrating outstanding contribution to the wider community through charitable initiatives and community projects.
The Shropshire-based independent day and boarding school was selected from hundreds of institutions across the UK for its sustained charitable fundraising efforts throughout the academic year.
The Independent Schools of the Year Awards celebrate success stories across the independent education sector. The Outstanding Fundraising Achievement category specifically recognises schools that evidence exceptional community contribution and positive impact through charitable work.
Adcote's nomination acknowledges the school's comprehensive fundraising programme, which includes Race for Life supporting Cancer Research UK, Macmillan Coffee Morning, Children in Need initiatives, and Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children.
Adcote School holds an established record of national recognition. The school won the ISA Senior School of the Year Award in 2020 and the ISA Academic Excellence and Innovation Award in 2019 for its CLEAR Learning Programme, which develops confidence, leadership, engagement, achievement and resilience.
The school currently holds top position in Shropshire for GCSE Grade 5+ in English and Maths and ranks as top value for money for independent boarding schools offering A Levels in its price bracket.
The school's charitable initiatives engage students, faculty, parents and the broader Shropshire community. Each fundraising activity aligns with Adcote's CLEAR values, developing leadership skills while supporting national and international charities.
Headteacher, Nicola Tribe, commented: "This nomination honours the collective efforts of our students, faculty, parents, and the broader community. It demonstrates the passion, generosity, and collaborative spirit that drive our success in making a positive impact."
Established as an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 7-18, Adcote School operates from purpose-built facilities in the Shropshire countryside. The school specialises in developing future leaders using research-based understanding of how girls learn.
Adcote provides education to girls of all abilities, focusing on expanding confidence and enabling students to reach their full potential. The school's CLEAR Learning Programme integrates core values throughout the curriculum and co-curricular activities.
