Packwood Haugh is an independent coeducational day and boarding preparatory school near Ruyton-XI-Towns, mid-way between Oswestry and Shrewsbury in Shropshire, England. It takes children between the ages of four and thirteen, and there are currently about 215 at the school, with more than 100 boarders.[1]

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 60 acres (24 ha), in 1941.[2] In 1956, it became a charitable trust. A pre-preparatory department, Packwood Acorns, was established in 1993 for day children only aged between four and seven.[1]

It has a separate boarding house for girls. Its theatre was opened in 2003 and a sports hall in 2008.[1]

The Happy Faces day care nursery opened in September 2013 for young children under school age.[3]
