Year 2 boys from Papplewick School, Ascot, were delighted in a trip to Windsor Great Park yesterday to catch a glimpse of the Queen.
They also saw accompanying members of the royal family, including Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Prince Harry and his new wife Meghan in horse-drawn landaus on their way to watch the racing at Royal Ascot. The boys enjoyed a picnic and had fun playing games while waiting for the procession.
“We were amazed to find that one of the mounted police who helped the boys in their picture was an ex-Papplewickian!” Headmaster Tom Bunbury said.

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 26 awards to top independent schools, including three King’s Scholarships 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 report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in 2013 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.’
