Professionalism, personal attention & flexibility… we offer General, Business & Examination English courses for adults in Shrewsbury – one of England’s most beautiful historical towns, providing real immersion in English lifestyle, language and culture.
expert teaching...
is something we have all experienced at one time or another in our lives. It depends on experienced teachers understanding your individual needs as a learner; and then having the flexibility and skill to adapt to them, helping you learn as much as possible. We have a team of such teachers – enthusiastic, well-qualified and caring - and have developed courses and teaching methods which inspire, motivate, and most of all, deliver the language progress you want.

...in an adult learning environment...

Throughout the academic year all classes are maximum 6, average 4-5 people; in summer (July/August) morning classes only are max. 8, av. 5-6 people. Severnvale accepts a maximum of 40 adults at any time – typical numbers are between 22 and 35 at most times of year. All lessons are of 45 minutes’ duration. Facilities are extremely comfortable, and include 9 classrooms, computer & listening centres, library, separate lounges for smokers and non-smokers, sun terrace etc.

...in a unique location
Shrewsbury is one of the finest medieval towns in England. A regional capital with a population of 100,000 - centrally located with no regional accent - yet not dominated by tourism and with just one accredited language school - Severnvale Academy. This is a place where total immersion really is possible.

John Rogers (Principal) & brother James Rogers (Director) established Severnvale Academy in 1982 and have continued to run the school throughout its history. Jane Crawshaw-Parry joined the team in 1990, becoming Director of Studies in 2002.
