Bluebell Walk
The Packwood community came together for the annual BBQ and Bluebell Walk – an event that perfectly marks the end of the first week back and sets a joyful tone for the summer term ahead. The afternoon began with a barbeque, where families, staff, and pupils gathered to enjoy the food, good company, and the […]
A Delightful Day at Moel Famau
Some of our pupils enjoyed a memorable day out in the picturesque foothills of Moel Famau, where they were warmly welcomed by some very special four-legged friends. The visit began with an introduction to four sheep, one Dorset and three Valais Blacknose, who were awaiting their spring shear. The children had the opportunity to observe […]

A Joyful Christmas Lunch
The whole school community was in for an absolute treat at our Christmas Lunch. The brilliant catering team served a truly scrumptious meal, over three different sittings, with the first sitting reserved for Acorns.

Christmas Hat Competition
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the DT and Art room, with the most wonderful variety of Christmas hats!

West Felton Carol Service
Traditional carols accompanied by a candlelit procession in a lovely mediaeval village church are surely guaranteed to put anyone in a festive frame of mind, and all who attended the West Felton carol service came away feeling that the Christmas season had truly begun. The Packwood senior choirs led the music confidently and tunefully with […]
Remembrance at Packwood
Silence was interrupted only by the rustle of leaves, the rumbling of a distant tractor and the tweets of birds circling above. The Packwood Community came on Armistice Day, first in front of the theatre for a Year 8 led Assembly, and then our Act of Remembrance in the ‘Remembrance Copse’. As the names of […]
A Sparkling Evening at Packwood
Bonfire, fireworks, hot dogs, glowsticks, hot chocolate and over 400 members of the school community. It is hard to imagine a more perfect event for Packwoodians to lose themselves in a tradition that is so quintessentially rural Britain. Our enormous thanks to Adam, Stuart and Eliot, our Groundstaff; Messers Watts and Mullock for the fireworks; […]
