Background:

Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.

In Asia, Mercy Corps works across seven countries spanning Central, South, and Southeast Asia, utilizing a participatory and evidence-based approach to strengthen equitable access to climate-resilient food systems and water security, foster economic opportunities, and promote inclusive community decision-making and governance. Mercy Corps’ programming contributes to enhanced resilience for communities across Asia—with an intentional focus on marginalized groups—through locally-led, inclusive, climate-smart, and evidence-based systems strengthening solutions.

Mercy Corps’ work in the region centers around four key outcomes aligned with the organization’s Pathway to Possibility (P2P) strategy:

• Applying a market systems development (MSD) approach to enhance economic opportunities, Mercy Corps’ Asia teams facilitate opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), youth and small holder farming communities to improve climate resilient and inclusive economic growth and development.
• Mercy Corps food security programs in Asia use a systems-based approach to promote sustainable natural resource management and climate-smart agriculture to improve access to nutritious foods, while also meeting acute needs during crises through nutrition-sensitive cash and voucher assistance (CVA) that prioritizes vulnerable groups, including remote rural communities, women, and minorities.
• To ensure sustained and equitable water access and food security, Mercy Corps addresses water security by improving water infrastructure, supporting efficient water management and governance, and integrating climate-resilient agricultural practices to support communities’ access to reliable, safe, and productive water resources.
• Mercy Corps’ Asia teams strengthen peace and good governance outcomes by applying systems-based, locally led approaches that empower government, private sector, civil society to deliver human-centered inclusive services, support communities in times of crisis, and build long-term resilience.

Teacher of Economics (and Business)

Mr Oliver Knight - Head

I  joined  Pangbourne  in  September  2024  and  have  had  the  pleasure  of  working
with an incredibly talented and dedicated staff and Board of Governors to drive
forward my vision for the school.

Pangbourne is my fourth headship and all three of my previous headships were at
inner-London  state  schools  which  I  transformed  by  driving  up  the  educational
standards.  I    am  passionate  about  bringing  the  best  from  the  state  sector  and
combining  it  with  the  independent  school  model  to  ensure  the  best  possible
education and opportunities for all pupils at Pangbourne.

My two passions in life are education and the outdoors. Pangbourne enables me to
combine these into the uniqueness of a Pangbournian education through access to
our world-class adventure facilities set within our 230 acre site. This enables us to
create  an  academic  ethos  underpinned  by  an  adventurous  spirit;  where  risk,  failure
and uncertainty are daily experiences.

It is no longer enough for pupils to just achieve great academic outcomes. As staff,
we work together to ensure that pupils are prepared for not just success in school
but  also  success  in  life.  Our  aim  is  to  educate  pupils  to  be  a  force  for  good  in  an
imperfect world.

I am in the process of implementing our Campus 2030 plans and would be delighted
if you applied to join me on this exciting journey for the future vision of the College .

With best wishes

Mr Oliver Knight, Head

About Pangbourne

With  over  30  years  of  co-educational  experience,  Pangbourne  College  is  an
independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 11-18 years, set in
over 230 acres of Berkshire’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the best
four mile stretch of rowing river in the country.

There  are  four  pillars  that  develop  and  sustain  a  Pangbourne  education:
Academic  Rigour,  Exploration,  Community  and  Leadership.  These  four
components  ensure  all  our  students  develop  the  attitudes,  skills  and  behaviours
that underpin success at school and in life. We empower each individual to fulfil
their  potential  and  develop  the  confidence,  values  and  skills  to  make  a  positive
difference to the world.

Pangbourne was established in 1917 as ‘The Nautical College, Pangbourne’ with
a  vision  to  train  boys  to  become  Merchant  Navy  Officers.  In  1969  the  College
adopted  the  name  it  has  today  and  shifted  its  focus  to  an  academic  education,
becoming  fully  co-educational  in  1996.  Pangbourne  College  is  not  a  military
school and only two or three of our leavers each year go into the armed forces,
but we do proudly pay tribute to our naval roots through preserving a number of
traditions.

The eight Flag Values of Kindness, Resilience, Selflessness, Moral Courage,
Integrity,  Initiative,  Industry  and  Respect  underpin  everything  we  do  as  a
nurturing, pupil-centred community.
