Last weekend, we were delighted to welcome pupils and staff from Shrewsbury School Bangkok to Packwood as they began their football tour of the UK. The visiting team stayed in Park House, making full use of our facilities and joining in a variety of activities with our pupils throughout the weekend, including experiences of our cherished fire pit sessions in the Spinney.
The highlight of their stay was a series of friendly football matches with our Forms 5 and 6 pupils, which were played in great spirit and showcased skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship on both sides. It was wonderful to see so many pupils from both schools connecting through shared enthusiasm, friendly competition, and laughter on the pitch.
Beyond the matches, the Shrewsbury Bangkok pupils enjoyed a taste of Packwood life, sharing meals, exploring the grounds, and taking part in a number of cultural and outdoor experiences designed to give them a real sense of our community.
It was a privilege to host a school from within the Shrewsbury family, strengthening the bonds that connect our schools across the globe. We look forward to their return, and perhaps talk of a visit to Thailand.
