Pictured: South Korean Taekwondo team demonstrates skills and passion at Papplewick School 

Around 85 young South Korean students known as the Taeroes visited Papplewick School in Ascot on Monday, 5th November. They were there to demonstrate their skills in Taekwondo, the traditional South Korean martial art.  

Taeroes stands for Taekwondo Heroes Team, which has 5,000 members in South Korea, China and the USA. The group has performed Taekwondo in over 70 countries around the world. Their demonstrations aim to provide a cultural experience about South Korea, in particular to support South Korean children who come to the UK for their education.

Headmaster Tom Bunbury, who demonstrated his own skills with the team, said: “This was a brilliant demonstration by the team. We all enjoyed their passion for their art and we hope they will visit us again.”

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.’
