Shiplake College
Shiplake College is a thriving independent boarding and day school for 480 pupils, taking boys from age 11 and girls in the Sixth Form.
"Shiplake is a vibrant community where every day brings fresh challenges and new opportunities.”
Overlooking the River Thames in Oxfordshire, the College is situated in an inspirational rural site just two miles upstream from Henley-on-Thames, famous for its Royal Regatta. We are conveniently located 40 minutes from Heathrow airport, and are close to the major railway and motorway networks, with easy links to Reading, London and Oxford.
