Haberdashers' Adams Grammar School is a selective state grammar school for high-achieving boys and girls aged 11–18 with boarding for boys, located in Newport, Shropshire, offering day and boarding education.[1] As of 2024, boarding fees are £14,553 per year for years 7-11 and £15,954 per year for Sixth Form.[2] Haberdashers' Adams was founded in 1656 by William Adams, a wealthy member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (one of the Great Twelve Livery Companies of the City of London). In January 2018, the school changed its name from Adams' Grammar School to Haberdashers' Adams.[3] In July 2022, the school announced that it would become fully co-educational, starting from September 2024.[4]
