Ellesmere College is a fee-charging co-educational boarding and day school in the English public school tradition located in Shropshire, near the market town of Ellesmere.[1] Belonging to the Woodard Corporation, it was founded in 1884 by Canon Nathaniel Woodard.

The Woodard Corporation is a significant charity. Today, Woodard educates over 30,000 pupils across academy, private, and state-maintained schools.

The College consists of a Lower School (Years 3-8), a Middle School (Years 9-11) and a Sixth Form (Year 12-13) where students can choose their own A-Level, BTEC, and International Baccalaureate subjects.
