Once ruled and founded by
Witchfinder General Lord Boof in 1609; Shasten school is situated on an isolated hilltop (known to locals as Shasten). Much like Azkaban, Shasten School is a high security institution for the most enchantingly gifted pupils from the godforsaken province of North Dorsetshire. Every year the institution sends several students to the poverty stricken nation of Rwanda where they can take advantage of the dire misfortune of others in order to gain something sycophantically cringeworthy to put on their personal statements and
CV's alike.
Shaftesbury school students can be differentiated from Sturminster Newton and Gillingham students by a distinct lack of webbed feet.
Notable alumni include; Paddington Bear, Tony Bear, and much loved Shakesperian villain Iago.
