Crackley Hall benefits from sharing the Christian ethos, resources and approach to learning of our nearby senior school, Princethorpe College, where many of our pupils progress to.
Originally a girls Catholic school, St Joseph's Convent, run by the Sisters of Mercy, the school merged with Princethorpe College, a boys Catholic school between Leamington and Rugby, in 2001, to provide continuous education for children from nursery through to Sixth Form.
The senior pupils moved across to Princethorpe and the school became a mixed prep school and was renamed Crackley Hall. In September 2010 Crackley merged with Abbotsford School in Kenilworth with the aim of providing the best primary education in the area.
The school and nursery, along with Princethorpe College, and the Crescent School in Bilton Rugby, now form The Princethorpe Foundation, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. Crackley Hall is a member of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools , the Independent Schools Association and the Catholic Independent Schools Conference .
