Pownall Hall School has one of the most beautiful settings that a school in Cheshire can offer. Set to the backdrop of our beautiful arts and crafts, grade 2* listed hall, our 8 beautiful acres of stunning grounds are located in the heart of Wilmslow, Cheshire.
FOREST SCHOOL | WILDLIFE POND | OUTDOOR CLASSROOM | POWNALL GARDENS
Being outdoors, in the fresh air, gives children a different perspective on life and is hugely beneficial for their well-being. The children often take part in marshmallow toasting, leaf printing, den building and bug hunting but they also have time to just be and play. Whether that be swinging on the rope swing, making mud pies or climbing the trees, Forest School allows the children to feel a sense of freedom and learn who they are and what limitations they may have.
SPORTS FIELD | ASTRO PITCH | SPORTS HALL
Sport is in abundance at Pownall and is taught by our specialist sports staff to all of our pupils from Nursery through to Form 6. We have a strong focus on team sports and play and take part in regular fixtures, festivals and tournaments throughout the year. The broad range of sports we take part in provides the children with the experience of competing on a regular basis.
SCIENCE LAB | ART AND DESIGN STUDIO
Our specialist subjects are taught by specialist teachers, who have an intrinsic passion for their subject. This passion is passed on to the children in lively and creative lessons, based in their dedicated teaching spaces. Our state of the art science lab was installed in 2022, rivalling that of high school science rooms. Our Art and Design Studio is based within our 18th century Boddington Theatre building. We also offer dedicated classrooms for all core subjects including Maths, English, and Modern Foreign Languages.
We are so very lucky to have our very own Henry Boddington Theatre, which is at the heart of all things music and drama at Pownall. From the age of two, our children are regularly given the opportunity to take centre stage and to sing, perform, and build their confidence. Our specialist Music and Drama teachers ignite a passion for music and performance, whilst our junior, senior, and chamber choirs, ensembles and Form Groups perform on a regular basis. Once a year we have our Form 6 school leavers’ production which is really something quite special, often with not a dry eye in the house!
POWNALL PARK LAWN TENNIS CLUB | STYAL GOLF CLUB | WILMSLOW LEISURE CENTRE SWIMMING POOL | WILMSLOW HOCKEY CLUB | JUST GYMNASTICS | BANK FARM RIDING STABLES
Not only do our pupils have access to the extensive list of on-site facilities above, they also benefit from our relationship with many local businesses who offer both specialist facilities and coaching in their respective field, either as part of our school curriculum, such as Tennis and Swimming, or as extra-curricular activities, such as Golf and Horse Riding.
