Princethorpe College is a Catholic, co-educational, HMC independent day school for around 930 pupils aged eleven to eighteen and welcomes members of all faiths and backgrounds.
The College is renowned for the way in which it looks after its pupils and is characterised by its strong Christian ethos, which underpins everything we do.
The school has a unique history, beautiful surroundings and unequalled character. The atmosphere is warm, open and friendly, but the traditional values of courtesy, discipline, organisation and mutual respect are expected from all.
We pursue academic rigour, want our pupils to be enthusiastic about hard work and to play a full part in the broader aspects of school life.
Our aim is simple: to treat every pupil as an individual, supporting them as they grow into mature, confident, resilient and well-rounded young people with a strong set of moral values to guide them through adult life.
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.
