The Princethorpe Foundation welcomes children of all faiths and backgrounds and provides co-educational, independent day schooling with a strong Christian ethos.
We support and nurture children from age two to eighteen years, through Little Crackers Nursery, Crackley Hall School, Crescent School and Princethorpe College.
Princethorpe College and Crackley Hall School, are the only Catholic independent senior and junior school in the county. The Crescent School in Bilton, Rugby, joined the Foundation in September 2016.
Our schools pride themselves on providing a caring, stimulating environment in which children’s individual needs can be met and their talents, confidence and self-esteem developed. We aim to encourage a lifelong love of learning, an understanding of moral values and to put young people on the road to happy and fulfilled lives.
VAT on School Fees – The Foundation’s Response
In August we announced our response to the Government’s plan to introduce VAT to private school fees from January 2025. Following the Budget announcement in October, the Foundation has confirmed that it is standing by its commitment to minimise the impact on families by reducing our fees from January 2025. The increase passed on to parents will be 5%, substantially less than the 20% VAT rate. For more on the fees and our strategy, please click here.
