What the school says...
Crackley Hall is one of the preparatory schools of the Princethorpe Foundation, the senior school of which is Princethorpe College. We share the same ethos, resources and love of learning and have our own on-site day nursery, Little Crackers which takes children from two years old.
Central to the school is its strong Christian ethos, high standards of care and a compelling feeling of community as both staff and parents work together for the good of all the children.
