What others say

“**** has telephoned with his Common Entrance results and we are, of course, highly delighted with his performance.

Whilst **** deserves great credit for his performance, we think it only fitting that you allow yourself and your dedicated staff to bask in a warm glow of achievement. **** has been completely changed by his Packwood experience. When he joined the school, he was an introspective child who lacked confidence and had little pleasure in his academic studies. Today we see before us a mature, industrious, enthusiastic and well-mannered young man who has blossomed in your care. We cannot believe the scale of the metamorphosis or the standard that has been attained.

It is said that the impossible can be achieved but miracles take a little longer. Well, in this case, it took only seven terms to perform the miracle. Our thanks go to you and all the teachers and supporting staff at Packwood who have helped to bring about this transformation. If we had to single out one teacher for particular mention, it must be Roger Lloyd-Jones who invested so much time and effort, not only in ****'s academic performance, but in his pastoral care. In truth, all of your teachers have shown a visible and significant interest in developing ****'s self confidence and nurturing his quixotic nature.

We also cannot speak too highly of the matrons and other pastoral support staff who have given **** a warm and secure environment in which to learn.”
