The sun shone on boys, parents and teachers from Papplewick School, Ascot, at their annual charity walk around Windsor Great Park on Sunday, 22nd April.
The purpose of the eight-mile walk was to raise funds for the charity, ‘Railway Children’, with the aim of reaching a target of £13,000 or more. The charity helps children living on the street in the UK, India and East Africa, where they suffer abuse, violence and poverty.
Tom Bunbury, Headmaster of Papplewick, said: “It was the best walking weather I can ever remember in my twenty four years at Papplewick! We all enjoyed the walk, and the picnic afterwards, enormously. I am hugely grateful to everyone who has contributed - we have already succeeded our target, raising a remarkable £15,000 for this very deserving charity!”

About Papplewick....
Papplewick School, Ascot, 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.’
