Events to mark the European Day of Languages took place on Thursday 26th September at Papplewick  along with thousands of other schools across Europe.  With 6,000 languages spoken in the world behind each of which lies a rich and varied culture EDL aims to celebrate this diversity by sharing the importance of languages and the fun that can be had through learning them.  The boys wore costumes for the day ranging from the basic colours of a European flag, to a traditional consume from any European country of their choice, and attended workshops hosted by parents and pupils which included covering the history of Portugal, a Spanish Language class led by a Spanish student, a German culture workshop, and learning about Russian cuisine. The boys were encouraged to use a European language throughout the day in their interactions with others.

Tom Bunbury Headmaster said  " European Languages Day is such a popular day to celebrate in the Michaelmas term and it is especially fascinating to see the variety of costumes,  boys and staff alike!"

Papplewick School, Ascot,  About Papplewick.... http://www.papplewick.org.uk  ....

 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.’

Please note the entrance to Papplewick is on A332 which is different from SATNAV instructions.
