Ehiada Garuba, a pupil at Papplewick School, Ascot,  won Gold in both the under 12,  100m and 200m at the National Prep Schools Championships at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, on 4th July.

Ehiada led the way with his stunning double and was ably supported by Sam Foulds who came 4th in the Under 13 Triple Jump, Harry Bunbury who came in the top ten in the Under 13 High Jump, and Lucas Cohen and Bruno Pagano who ran bravely in incredibly competitive 1500m and 800m races respectively.

Tom Bunbury, Headmaster of Papplewick, said: “We are hugely proud that five of our boys qualified for the National Championships this year and Ehiada’s achievement was quite outstanding.”

Papplewick is a day, weekly, and full boarding preparatory school for around 200 boys between the ages of 6 and 13. Situated in 15 acres of land opposite Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, Papplewick has an excellent record for academic achievement and feeds many of the UK’s top independent senior schools including Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Wellington, Stowe and Bradfield.  

In the last two years the school has maintained its academic record, gaining no less than 22 awards to top independent schools, including a King’s Scholarship to Eton.  Through its strong commitment to sports, the school also builds skills of teamwork, sportsmanship and responsibility.

As well as academic, sporting and cultural excellence, Papplewick aims to provide boys with the confidence and security they need to fulfil their potential, and the school strives to promote enthusiasm for life, contribution to the community and kindness to others amongst all its pupils. 

A recent (2013) report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) remarks that relationships between pupils and teachers: ‘are an outstanding strength of the school and are seminal in creating the strong sense of a mutually supportive and trusting community.’
