It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Pope Francis.
Prayers for the repose of his soul will be said in pupil assemblies when we return to school.
The Princethorpe Foundation community extends its heartfelt condolences and prayers to Roman Catholics throughout the world as we mourn the loss of our Pontiff. We give thanks for the life and ministry of Pope Francis and for his humility, unstinting dedication and service to Roman Catholics and the wider world.

 

Crackley Hall has been described as the 'next best place to home' by its pupils. Central to the school is its strong Christian ethos, high standards of care and a compelling feeling of community, as both staff and parents work together for the good of all the children.

A co-educational 4 to 11 independent Catholic day school with some 240 pupils, we have our own on-site day nursery, Little Crackers, which takes children from two years old. The school succeeds at making learning fun with a wide and varied curriculum designed to help all pupils get the very best of starts on their individual educational journey.  

In this warm, dynamic and engaging environment, we see children's self esteem and confidence grow as they discover at an early age where their talents lie.

VAT on School Fees – The Foundation’s Response

Since August 2024 we have had a long-term fee strategy to minimise the impact of VAT and other external pressures on our families whilst maintaining educational excellence. In January 2025 the Foundation reduced its fees so that the increase passed on to parents was 5%, substantially less than the 20% VAT rate. 

We remain ever mindful of the challenges facing those who pay school fees, and our aim as always is keep fees as affordable as possible, whilst continuing to provide the highest standard of education and pastoral care for our pupils. To see our current fees click here.
