Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a parent can make and we are delighted that you are considering Pangbourne College as a senior school for your child.

Our assessment process has been designed to identify your child’s core strengths and skills, both inside and outside of the classroom. There is no specific preparation required for the assessments. 

With the help of our friendly and dedicated admissions team to support and guide your family through our processes, you will gain a true insight into what the College can offer your child, so your decision can be made with confidence.

With a variety of visit options available, there are a number of ways you will be able to develop an understanding of what we do and how we do it. By meeting and talking to pupils and staff, our intention is that you will be able to obtain a real sense of what makes our community so special and form that almost indefinable, emotional connection that will tell you whether this is the right school at which your child can flourish.

Please do contact us by email: [email protected] or by telephone: 0118 976 7415 or complete the online enquiry form

We look forward to hearing from you.
