Papplewick is a boys only, day, weekly and full boarding school with an exceptional scholarship record to top Independent Schools. Day boys do prep at school and come in to board from the summer term of Year 6. Three very popular daily transport services run to and from London, one from Chiswick, one from Brook Green and one from near the Millennium Gloucester Hotel. Also, a daily service runs to and from Maidenhead/South Bucks. Situated between the M3 and M4, the school boasts easy access to London airports. A new Year 8 standalone boarding house has now opened with two Year 5 classrooms underneath and staff accommodation.
Papplewick exists to provide a high-quality education where – for all our academic, cultural and sporting success – the happiness of the boys come first, and kindness is a top priority.
