The <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Scoop</strong> from a current parent…<br />

We chose Pangbourne because of its community<br />

and family feel and for the individual care that<br />

each child receives. It’s been brilliant for both our<br />

very different children: one started off shy and<br />

unsure of himself, he’s more of an introspective<br />

artist. The other is outgoing and sporty but with<br />

a short attention span. The teachers and systems<br />

at the College have been excellent at getting the<br />

best out of both boys, academically, socially and<br />

in terms of their emotional development. The<br />

College has a set of Flag Values and we feel like<br />

they really work hard to instill these in all students.<br />

They have taught our children to be resilient, kind,<br />

hardworking, socially confident young adults who<br />

care about others and the world around them.<br />

SE<br />

As parents, we love:<br />

The individual attention is outstanding: staff know<br />

and try to bring out the best in each child.<br />

The community atmosphere. It’s like a family.<br />

The small size. This might be constricting in real<br />

life but in a school, with the kids still finding their<br />

feet, it’s a really supportive atmosphere.<br />

Our children love:<br />

The family atmosphere and boarding; they even<br />

say the food is pretty good!<br />

The lifelong friendships they are making and the<br />

good relationships with their teachers.<br />

That they can be themselves and the space for<br />

their own individual interests.<br />

HEADS UP<br />

“Pangbourne is a place where the<br />

individual matters. We are committed to<br />

the personal development of our pupils in<br />

the fullest sense. They are encouraged to<br />

work hard towards academic success but just<br />

as important is the development of their characters”<br />

Thomas Garnier, Headmaster<br />
