Pangbourne College A vibrant school community , where the individual matters

Entry is offered at 11+, 13+ and 16+, and occasionally into other year groups. The next open morning will be held on Saturday, April 28, from 9am-12noon. A distinctive school that puts huge emphasis on self-disci- pline, teamwork and leader- ship. Caring and supportive, Pangbourne buzzes with activ- ity and encourages every pupil to have a go . Good Schools Guide The personal development of Pangbourne’s students is outstanding, and supported by an excellent, broad curriculum which enables students to progress academically and supports the development of the whole individual. ISI Inspection Report Headmaster Mr Thomas Garnier says: “Pangbourne is a place where the individual matters. “We have a beautiful site and excellent facilities but, first and foremost, this is a ‘people place’. “We are committed to the personal development of our pupils in the fullest sense. “They are encouraged to work hard towards academic success and we are proud of the results which they achieve, but just as important is the development of their characters: their confi- dence and values, their creative and physical skills

and their appreciation of who they are and what they can contribute to the world. “In its generous rural setting, Pangbourne nonetheless provides a smaller school envi- ronment where there is room to focus on the individual. “Pangbourne is known for its outstanding pastoral care – recognised as excellent in the recent ISI report – and we take an integrated approach to caring for each pupil. “We are not complacent about the challenges which young people face and are always seeking to improve the support which we can provide. “Pangbournians are encour- aged not only to challenge themselves and reach their potential, but also to be happy and fulfilled. “The college offers a compre- hensive co-curricular programme, which enables pupils to find their niche and thrive as their specific abili- ties are recognised and devel- oped. The only way to experience the authentic Pangbourne is to come and visit, enjoy a tour of the college and speak to the pupils here who will give you a real insight into what Pang- bourne is today.
