International Women's Day
13th March 2026

At Shrewsbury House we are guided by our values and speak openly about inequalities that exist in society, reflecting on what each of us can do now and in the future to create a more equal world. We explored this topic with pupils from Epsom College. They led us through an informative presentation about key figures in history who have shaped our world and those who went unrecognised based on their gender. This year’s IWD theme, ‘Give to Gain’, resonated throughout the assembly hall. The core message was clear: when we give our support, advocacy and respect to others, the entire community thrives. Our visitors eloquently shared practical ways for SHS pupils to champion gender equality and stay actively engaged with this vital global conversation.
