It was lovely to welcome boys from Year 10 and Year 11 in Raglan House at Wellington College back to Papplewick. After walking from Wellington to Papplewick in memory of Old Papplewickian Tavy, they placed a commemorative plaque beside the cherry tree they had kindly donated to the school. The tree mirrors one planted at Raglan, creating a lasting connection between the two schools and serving as a fitting tribute to Tavy's memory. Thank you to everyone involved in such a thoughtful gesture. Service | Tenacity | Ambition | Growth #papplewick #prepschool #boardingschool #ascot #schoollife

Year 8 had the privilege of hearing from Holocaust survivors Ivor Perl and Miriam Freedman, who shared their experiences of life in concentration camps during the Second World War. Listening to first-hand accounts of such a significant period in history was both moving and thought-provoking. The boys were captivated by their stories of resilience, courage and hope in the face of unimaginable adversity. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare and serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance, understanding and learning from the past. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and one that will stay with the boys for many years to come.

It was another brilliant cricket game between the Papplewick staff and the fathers during last week's Cricket Week. Whilst a wet week, it was great to get this historical game on and it was well worth it! Neck and neck right until the last over or two of the game, both teams played in a wonderful spirit - friendly and competitive - showing the boys exactly how the game should be played! Whilst the staff narrowly lost this year, they will be eagerly awaiting next year's fixtures to get the trophy back!

Hog Roast 2026 What a fantastic day at Papplewick's annual Hog Roast! From Mr Bunbury bravely taking his place in the stocks and being pelted with wet sponges, to our Young Entrepreneurs selling their creations, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The mums v sons and fathers v sons cricket matches were played in great spirit, the dog show was as popular as ever, and the inflatables kept the boys entertained throughout the day. With wonderful food, music pumping across the grounds and families enjoying the sunshine together, it was a truly joyful occasion. It was particularly special to welcome not only our current boys and families, but also so many former pupils returning from their senior schools to catch up with friends and staff. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success, especially the POP (Parents of Papplewick) team for working tirelessly behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly!
