Scholarship record

19th May, 2010

Packwood's final year pupils are celebrating winning a record number of scholarships and awards to major independent senior schools.

The children have achieved thirty-five awards – the highest number in one year in the school’s 118 year history. Nine academic scholarships have been won to some of the top senior independent schools in the country: Rugby (including the top scholarship), Shrewsbury, Uppingham, Malvern and Moreton Hall. In addition, confirming the school's commitment to provide a genuine breadth of education and opportunity, there were five scholarships for music, four for art, ten for sport and seven for 'all-round' ability.

Headmaster, Nigel Westlake said ‘This has been an exceptional year for Packwood. Not only have the scholarship results been outstanding, but the children themselves have been a pleasure to teach and coach - full of enthusiasm and energy and a real desire to learn and do their best. The impressive results are testament to their diligence and hard work, and to the support, professionalism and dedication of their teachers. Many congratulations to all.’
