Praise indeed for Papplewick, Ascot in the latest Tatler Schools Guide with their entry including comments such as Jovial Head Tom Bunbury is according to one father, possibly the best educator he had ever encountered !
The school's holistic approach was also lauded as was the fact that a wide range of pupils is supported with plenty of scholarships gained to top UK public schools, but the less academic won't feel left behind either.
Headmaster Tom Bunbury said "We are extremely grateful for Tatler's generous comments, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole team here at Papplewick - every one of them contribute to the school's success.
