Pangbourne House Montessori School

Fia Russell-Cobb (short for Sophia) is the Headmistress. She started Pangbourne House in 2014 after 30 years of teaching, and then becoming the head of Ladbroke Square Montessori School.

Her ambition had always been to set up her own school which would reflect the Montessori method, and place a strong emphasis on creativity.

Alongside Fia in opening Pangbourne House were Ana Aranha and Olivia Hoare.

Ana Aranha is currently the Deputy Head and runs all the admin at Pangbourne House.

At Pangbourne House, we believe that in this modern, technical world, children are given less time to practise their communication skills.

We strive to nurture the development of compassion and empathy through creativity.

We have developed an environment where children can explore and experiment and work together with artistic and creative endeavours of their own, while at the same time gaining an understanding of warm fellowship and community awareness.
