Regular tours abroad are a special feature of Papplewick, whether it be for sporting, charitable, academic, or cultural reasons.

The school organises a week of total immersion in French for Year 7 boys in Burgundy, an annual ski trip to Europe (which includes families), Choir Trips to Europe and within the UK, Adventure Trips to South Africa, and a Leavers’ Camp to Spain for Year 8 boys. Major sports (alternating cricket, rugby, and football) tours also take place every year to such countries as South Africa, Argentina, St.Lucia, and Spain. 

In addition, all boys enjoy a variety of educational trips and outings during the course of the year to plays, concerts, and places of historical or geographical interest, often taking advantage of all that London has to offer.
