Adcote School for Girls near Shrewsbury is a leading independent day and boarding school for ages 7–18. Renowned for its award-winning education and nurturing community, Adcote helps every girl build confidence, resilience and academic success.
Both of our daughters have been educated at Adcote. They had an amazing time, made great friends and had lots of opportunities to try different things. From sports trips abroad to drama productions, CCF and Duke of Edinburgh. It's a really caring environment, which is what appealed to us the most. Safe and inclusive. I can hardly think of any days when they didn't want to go to school.

In February 2026, Mardy and well-travelled said about Howden Insurance
When we struggled to get an acceptable price for our car insurance renewal through the usual screen scraper channels we decided to try a broker. After completing the call back request I was contacted by phone within the two minute window and redirected to Liam at the Salisbury office. It was 4:30 in the afternoon but he still cheerfully laboured away for 45 minutes to get us a deal we had been unable to get near before. The benefits of a broker are the more nuanced approach whereas the online quote sites are too black and white in their tick boxes. Liam was really friendly and appropriately forward which made the long phone call a real pleasure. We will certainly consider Howdens again for our insurance needs as a valuable new tool alongside the screen scrapers and companies that "don't appear on the screen scraper sites". Thank you Liam.
