Year 5 are warmly invited to a taste of senior school life at Princethorpe College on Thursday 19 May 2022. The taster day will begin at 9.30am when the children will be transported to the College by mini-bus from Crescent. Pupils will experience a variety of classroom sessions, a tour of the school and a question and answer session with our current pupils. Break and lunch will be provided and there is no charge for this day.

At the end of the afternoon, parents are invited to join their children at 4.15pm for an informal Parents’ Information Session, offering information on entry to the College for September 2023. Light refreshments will also be served. Ed Hester, the Headmaster, along with other key members of staff will be available to talk to families about the College and to outline the admissions process. Children will also have the opportunity to trial the online CEM test, one of the exams that prospective pupils complete during the Entrance Examinations day, which will take place on Saturday 5 November 2022.

Please click here to access the online booking form for the Year 5 Taster Day. Please complete and submit the form by 9.00pm on Monday 7 March to secure a place for your child.

For those parents who are unable to attend the Parents’ Information Session, your child will be transported back to Crescent for 3.30pm.

For more information about the admissions process. please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Team on 01926 634201/262/297 or by email at admissions@princethorpe.co.uk.

Please ensure that you wait with your child(ren) at drop off until the school's opening at 8.15am.  It is only at this time that school becomes responsible for all children's safe care. Before this time it is a parental duty.

Please note, however, that all children can be brought to the front door at any time from 7.45am - 8.15am where they will be welcomed and looked after by our Early Bird staff as appropriate for their age. This does not need to be booked in advance.

Also please let the school office and/or your child's form teacher know if someone else will be collecting your child at the end of the day. We cannot release pupils without this information.

Many thanks

Nature is in big trouble, but the RSPB has big plans to save it!

I wanted to say thank you to all who contributed so generously to the RSPB Pin Badge appeal.

A total of £130 was raised.

This money will go to supporting the RSPB. Their work ranges from species recovery and large-scale conservation, to policy-influencing and inspiring change or action.

Crescent School

Dear Parents

Over recent days we've experienced some distress in the children over Pokemon cards. This subsequently impacts too upon classroom learning time. As such, please could we request that these cards are left at home and do not come into school again.  

With many thanks for your understanding.

All children will have received a World Book Day voucher to spend on a book of their choice, in addition to this Hunts Bookshop in Rugby have given every child a golden ticket to spend in their shop. A big thank you goes out to them, please do support them by visiting and spending your vouchers there.

I do hope you all managed to celebrate World Book Day by enjoying a book together.

Dear Parents

We know that many of you read widely with your children at home alongside the regular and significant investments we make into our reading resources in school. 

We are always looking to add depth and variety to this so if any of you have books at home which your children have outgrown and would support our school reading schemes, we're always very grateful to accept donations.  

Many thanks
