About Pangbourne College
Pangbourne College is an independent co-educational day and boarding school for 11–18-year-olds set in over 230 acres of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, with the finest 6km stretch of rowing river in the country.
Our four pillars: Academic Rigour, Exploration, Community and Leadership shape well-rounded, resilient and confident pupils ready to thrive, collaborate and make their mark in a complex, ever-changing world.
These four pillars ensure all our students develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours that underpin success at school and in life. At Pangbourne, we empower each individual to fulfil their potential and develop the confidence, values and skills to make a positive difference to the world. Pupils leave us as rounded and interesting individuals able to work in a multitude of teams and with the confidence to live an authentic life.
We not only provide an outstanding academic education with excellent outcomes for all pupils but also an ethos of adventure and exploration. Through this, our young people acquire the knowledge, skills and character necessary to act with confidence in imperfect situations and leave a positive mark on the world. Our students leave us having been inducted into systems of worthwhile knowledge that enable them to participate in and shape the national discourse.
Pangbourne’s adventure programme is designed to take our students outside of their comfort zone and allow them to face their fears and excel as well as build resilience. It also provides a platform to foster critical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork through hands-on experiences. We want Pangbournians to thrive in uncertain situations, to face unknown outcomes and to embrace novel experiences. Pangbourne prepares our students to have the ability to act intelligently when faced with a situation for which they have not been specifically prepared.
