LIFE-CHANGING IMPACT

Transformational bursaries have changed lives at Pangbourne since 1917. Today pupils are supported through the Transforming Futures programme.

Meet the beneficiaries, hear their stories and personal experiences of life at the College.

Every gift makes a difference, you can change a life through the gift of education.

TOMAS TOKOVYI

2017–2019

‘I now have ambitious goals to tackle some of the biggest problems in healthcare.’

The moment I received my bursary offer from Pangbourne, I knew my life was never going to be the same. It was my dream to join a competitive boarding school. After Pangbourne, I went on to study at Bristol, followed by Oxford and then Cambridge. As a biochemist, I now have ambitious goals to tackle some of the biggest problems in healthcare and this is all because of the excellent foundation provided at Pangbourne.

NINO'S STORY

2023–2025

“I am immensely grateful for the opportunity at Pangbourne.”

At Pangbourne, Nino earned her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and led the Charlotte Drake Society. Since leaving Pangbourne, she has started her further education at university in Europe.

PATRICK DERHAM

1973-1978

“My life was transformed by a bursary from Pangbourne. Pangbourne is creating more opportunities for people like myself and enabling beneficiaries to become authors of their own life stories.”

Patrick is a passionate advocate of widening access to independent schools.As Headmaster of Rugby, where he set up the Arnold Foundation, and then at Westminster, he has seen first-hand the value of each transformational bursary, at both a personal and a community level.

SHEA'S STORY

2023–2025

“As soon as I came to Pangbourne I knew it would be a place I would feel comfortable, it did feel like a home as much as a school.

I’d love to be in a position one day where I can give back to those that are in a similar situation.” Shea is now studying Engineering at Lancaster University.
