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
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.
