Wallace House

Wallace House

Wallace House is just a five-minute walk from School, with easy access to the town centre. Its beautiful gardens and recently refurbished interiors create a calm, comfortable environment where boys can relax, connect and thrive.

The House values every pupil’s strengths – whether academic, creative or co-curricular – and fosters a supportive community where boys celebrate each other’s successes and stand by one another through challenges.

Walking to School through town keeps boys grounded, reinforcing their identity as Shirburnians and strengthening their role as ambassadors in the wider community.
