Packwood Haugh School is a co-educational Preparatory school for pupils from the ages of 4 to 13, offering places for both day and boarding pupils. It is located in Ruyton-XI-Towns, midway between Oswestry and Shrewsbury in Shropshire, England.
Its overarching aim is to provide an excellent all-round education that encompasses a breadth of opportunity for all pupils.
Packwood has long furnished the top public schools. Many leavers move on to Shrewsbury, others to Rugby, Malvern College, Eton, Harrow, Wycombe Abbey, Moreton Hall, Stowe, St Edward's.
The school was founded in 1892 at Packwood, Warwickshire, and moved to its present site, a large Victorian country house previously called Park House, set in 66 acres (27 ha), in 1941. In 1956, it became a charitable trust. Girls joined the school in 1968 and a separate boarding house, Park House, provides boarding accommodation for girls. A pre-preparatory department, Packwood Acorns, was established in 1993 for day children only aged between four and seven and is also located within Parkhouse. The rural site of 66 acres includes many facilities, such as a floodlit all-weather surface, a sports hall, purpose-built design and technology (DT) and art studios, an indoor swimming pool, science laboratories and a modern theatre.
The Happy Faces day care nursery opened in September 2013 for young children under school age.
Through participation in a broad curriculum, centred on core literacy and numeracy skills that underpin all other subjects, pupils develop a good level of knowledge and understanding. Nearly all pupils stay at the school until they are 13, successfully gaining places in the senior schools of their choice, with a significant number gaining scholarships and awards.
