Papplewick was delighted to pass the Green Flag Eco assessment with flying colours and received this prestigious award last week.  Having already secured the Bronze and Silver awards, the boys had proudly shown Mrs Sandra MacLeod from the Eco School around the school at the end of September showing off their bat habitats and bird hotels.  They discussed the links with work in geography and science with topics such as fair trade and carbon footprinting.  Year 3 boys were asked to write a piece imagining what the world would look like at tipping point, and in French through the use of sounds picked up new vocabulary on a passage linked to preserving water for the planet. Finally a tour of the new year 8 boarding house took place where the boys showed their efforts in monitoring lights and windows to preserve energy and they assessed on their core knowledge and involvement.

 Tom Bunbury, Headmaster said "As an Eco-school we are delighted to receive this internationally recognised award for excellence in environmental action and learning."

 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.
