History of the School
Pangbourne offers a challenging academic curriculum and plenty of co-curricular opportunities for sport, art, music, drama and adventurous training, so that each individual fulfils their potential and develops confidence, values and skills to make a positive difference to the world There are three main points of entry into the College – 11+ (Form 1), 13+ (Form 3) and 16+ (Sixth Form).
Pre-16 qualifications
In Year 9, pupils choose their GCSE options to take forward into Years 10 and 11. The benefits of our small class sizes are most evident in the GCSE years, where they give staff the time to prepare pupils for their first experience of public exams.
Post 16 qualifications
Pangbourne offers 30 A Level and BTEC subjects and most students choose four. The majority will also undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), Core Maths or other additional qualification. A Level exams are sat at the end of the two years in Sixth Form, however, we hold internal exams in the Summer Term of Lower Sixth and trial exams in January of Upper Sixth to help students prepare.
