Papplewick School Homepage, Papplewick is a day, weekly, and full boarding preparatory school for around 190 boys between the ages of 6 and 13, situated in 15 acres of land opposite Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. Our pupils grow up in an atmosphere where boys can be boys, and individuality is celebrated. However, academic achievement is at the highest level, and the school feeds many of the top independent senior schools in the UK including Eton, Harrow, Winchester, Wellington, Charterhouse and Stowe.
