With almost 30 years of co-educational experience, Pangbourne College is an independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged between 11-18 years, set in over 230 acres of Berkshire's Are of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the best four mile stretch of rowing river in the country.

At Pangbourne College, we are guided by our past whilst fully embracing the hope and opportunity of the future. It is this which allows our students to leave us as well-rounded individuals, able to flourish in a complex world. There are four pillars that develop and sustain a Pangbourne education: Academic Rigour, Exploration, Community and Leadership.

These four components combine to ensure all our students develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours that underpin success at school and work.

But perhaps most importantly for us at Pangbourne, they allow our pupils to leave us as rounded and interesting individuals able to work in a multitude of teams and with the confidence to live an authentic life.
