Padworth College

Padworth College

Padworth College is an independent co-educational senior school at Padworth, between Burghfield Common and Tadley in the English county of Berkshire.

The college was established in 1963 by an Oxford don who aimed to bring university style tutorial teaching methods to school level education. Originally a sixth form boarding school for girls, Padworth College became co-educational in 2005 and now accepts students between ages thirteen and nineteen.

The principal, Linde Melhuish, joined the College in 2006, having served as Head of the Languages Faculty and member of the College Leadership Team at Malvern Girls' College.

The college is based in Padworth House, the local manor house and 18th century home of the military Darby-Griffith family.
