Mary Webb School and Science College is a coeducational secondary school located in Pontesbury, Shropshire, England.

Founded in 1957, it was originally titled Pontesbury Secondary Modern School.[2] In 1977, following the abolition of the tripartite system, the school became a comprehensive school.[3] The Mary Webb School, named after the novelist and poet of the same name, was designated a specialist Science College in 2003.

Previously a community school administered by Shropshire Council, in January 2019 Mary Webb School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Central Shropshire Academy Trust.
