What others say

“I thought I would write briefly to say how much we have appreciated the education – in the broadest sense – which Packwood has given to **** and ****.

It seems a long time since ****’s first term – which of course was also your first as Headmaster – and memories of attending the Carol Service when **** read part of the first lesson. So much has happened for us and for the School since then, and I am pleased to say that our decision to send both children to a school over two hours’ drive away has been fully vindicated.

We will all miss Packwood for many reasons, but I have picked five of these:
· A wonderful, Christian atmosphere with outstanding pastoral care at all levels, and great hospitality whenever we visited.
· High academic, extracurricular and sporting standards.
· The excellent and memorable productions by Jo Westlake, Howard Bourne, Jane Jones and others, and the annual Carol Services which were well worth the long evening drives. ****’s godfather’s thought so too – and flew over from Jersey for The Pirates of Penzance.
· A pleasant group of parents in ****’s year with whom we achieved a good rapport.
· The speed and efficiency with which you dealt with my e-mails and letters of a variety of matters. I know from talking to friends across the country that very few preparatory school heads take as much trouble and personal interest in their pupils and parental concerns as you do.”
