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.

If you’re looking to buy a quality used car in Shrewsbury, call the team at Dale House Cars on Ennerdale Road. They’re backed by the AA and can offer finance. If you’re looking to sell, there are free collections within 50 miles and you’ll get paid on the same day!
Excellent service and aftercare from Dave and the team. I purchased a BMW 1 series from Dalehouse at the early part of this year. MOT was run before I drove away which failed. Dave made sure the issues were put right before I drove the car away. Unfortunately, one of the fixes created another problem that caused a knocking noise. There was also condensation in one of the light units.
I drove over to Shrewsbury where there was a courtesy car waiting for me. Work on the car was completed and I drove away back to Macclesfield. 3 months later, the knocking retuned so I contacted Dave. He remained in constant contact with me throughout and wanted to put this right. As I have recently become a father to a new baby, it was difficult to drive over to Shrewsbury. Dave sorted a work colleague to drive to Macclesfield, pick the car up and fix both the knocking and replace the whole light unit. The car was returned after two days - shiny, fully valeted and looking and smelling incredible.
Some dealers would have gone into hiding after my persistent chasing to get the issues sorted, but Dave and his team have been brilliant. Car driving like a dream. We got there in the end!! Big thanks 👍🙏

Diamond cut alloy wheel refurbishment in Shrewsbury from Alloy Xpress. Also, alloy wheel colour changes, powder coating and caliper painting… all from an expert team that will be happy to look after you.
Met Ivo to discuss my daughters alloy wheels on her Mercedes AMG, all 4 wheels wanted refurbishing, Ivo gave good solid advice, also my wheel on my Honda Crv wanted refurbishing.
Had a date and dropped mercedes off and my alloy wheel.
Car was left in a secure unit for 24hrs, on picking up the car and my wheel the quality of the work was excellent, my wheel looked like new, so much attention to detail, and my daughter was blown away with the workmanship on her wheels, he even supplied 4 matching mercedes wheel hubs to compliment the refurbished wheels.
This business is highly recommended, I always expect very high standard and it was delivered in abundance, the whole experience was faultless and the whole customer experience was excellent. IVO thanks again, you made this experience remarkable and not only that your a professional and a nice man to deal with. THANKS

In November 2025, Helen said about Howden Insurance
Good communication skills competitive quote very efficient… only negative too many follow up phone calls as we had said we would not be renewing insurance until day before due date. Other than that great service.

In November 2025, Mr Peter J Hawkins said about Howden Insurance
Apart from not getting my NCD confirmation of 9 years think that this could be improved plus when someone is going on holiday the callback SHOULD BE PASSED TO SOMEONE ELSE TO DEAL WITH.
NOT BEEN A GREAT PROCESS TBH FROM START ESPECIALLY PAYING £700 FOR MOTORHOME INSURANCE.
