Admissions Update

Sunday 4 October - 10.00am to 3.00pm

Foundation senior school, Princethorpe College, is planning on holding an Open Day on Sunday 4 October from 10.00am to 3.00pm by appointment only.

The day will be split into three hour-long sessions and visitors will be asked to book a specific session, to help manage the numbers and adhere to government guidelines.

Places will be very limited and the event is aimed at families who have not had the chance to visit the College previously and have a prospective pupil for Years 7 to 10 specifically interested in September 2021 entry. A maximum of two family members will be able to attend with the prospective pupil.

Each session will open with a Welcome Address by our Headmaster, Ed Hester and then visitors will follow a tour route around key school locations.

At the moment, under the coronavirus restrictions, we are unable to welcome visitors into school on normal school days.

Depending on the developing situation we are planning a second Open Morning later in the Michaelmas Term. The Open Morning is scheduled for Thursday 26 November 2020 from 10.30am to 12.30pm and again will be by appointment only. 

For further information on admissions and entry to the College in 2021 visit our website or contact the Admissions Team on 01926 634201/634262 or by email admissions@princethorpe.co.uk.

The senior school entrance examinations for Princethorpe College, for Year 7 to 10 entry in September 2021, will take place this year on Saturday 23 January 2021 from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Thursday 8 October 2020 - 9.00am to 4.00pm

Crackley Hall School and Little Crackers Nursery, in Kenilworth, are opening their doors for an Open Day on Thursday 8 October from 9.00am - 4.00pm by appointment only.

This is an opportunity to look around the school on a normal working day and to meet the school's Headmaster, Rob Duigan. The school is now accepting registrations for admission to Reception, Year 1 and Year 3 in 2021. There are a very small number of places available in other years - where year groups are full, there are waiting groups.  

Thursday 19 November - 7.00pm to 8.00pm

Crackley Hall School will also be holding a Nursery and Reception Open Evening on Thursday 19 November between 7.00pm and 8.00pm, which will give parents an insight into the Early Years at Crackley Hall and Little Crackers.  Mrs Susan Glen-Roots, the Assistant Head for Early Years, will be on hand, as well as the rest of the Reception and Little Crackers Team. This event will also be by appointment only.

For more information and to book an apppointment at either event please contact our Admissions Secretary, Mrs Jenny Vaughan on 01926 514410 or by email admissions@crackleyhall.co.uk or visit the school's website http://www.crackleyhall.co.uk/.

From Wednesday 4 November 2020

Our friendly toddler group, Stay 'n' Play, normally runs every Wednesday morning during term time. At the moment, government guidlelines will not allow the group to meet in person. So, instead, Stay 'n' Play is moving online. 

Join us every other Wednesday morning from Wednesday 4 November to take part in a range of different activities. Story-time, singalong, creative crafts and maybe even some of our popular, regular visiting activities will be on hand to offer your little one lots of fantastic fun. 

We do hope you will join us and why not virtually bring along your friends. Email jennyvaughan@crackleyhall.co.uk to register and the link will be sent to you in advance of each session.

We hope Stay 'n' Play will be able to return to Crackley Hall next term.

For more information, please visit: www.littlecrackers.co.uk/stay-n-play. 

We look forward to seeing you there.

Due to the continuing COVID-19 restrictions this year's Princethorpe College Christmas Fair has unfortunately had to be cancelled.

The PTA are hoping to arrange a different event and details will be shared once they are confirmed.

The OPs' events calendar offers plenty of opportunities for past pupils, former parents, staff and friends of the College and the Foundation schools to catch up.

This year some events are being run virtually, but the popular Pub Meets and Summer Reunion, are booked and we very much hope they will be able to go ahead.

All alumni, former staff and parents of Princethorpe College, St Bede's, St Mary's Priory, St Joseph's School, Crackley Hall, Abbotsford and Crescent School are welcome to participate in any or all of the events.
