About us

Pangbourne College is a small, independent boarding and day school with a unique history and a bright future. It’s a community where everyone can flourish; our small size allows us to get to know each student individually, ensuring that they are nurtured as they grow academically and socially.

Our Flag Values of kindness, selflessness, moral courage, initiative, industry, resilience, respect and integrity underpin all we do as a College. They are rooted in our Christian ethos and go a long way to prepare our pupils for life’s challenges and the responsibilities of adulthood. Our aim is to equip Pangbournians with the strongest possible foundations for their future.

Daily school transport services are available from Ascot, Basingstoke, Henley/Wargrave, Maidenhead, Newbury and Wantage.
