Things to note
All the major sports are offered, but it’s also possible to experience sports such as archery, trampolining, dance, climbing, lacrosse, golf, badminton, clay pigeon shooting and table tennis and to get involved in equestrian competitions.
Whether it’s drama or archery, electric car club or sailing they cater for a wide variety of interests. Clubs, societies and activities take place either at lunchtime or after school and each term a full co-curricular timetable is produced to enable pupils to choose what they would like to take part in.
In addition, they also aim to support pupils’ learning by offering regular music and theatre trips, lectures, visits to museums, art galleries and science festivals. They invite guest speakers into school to discuss issues with pupils, as well as welcoming visiting music, theatre and dance companies to demonstrate their excellence to our pupils.
Overseas trips include regular sports tours, subject specific tours and outreach trips.
Trips are a regular feature of the academic calendar and are offered to all corners of the globe. Whether it’s drama or archery, electric car club or sailing they cater for a wide variety of interests.
The majority of children join us in Year 7, but children are welcome to join in other year groups as space allows. Children who want to come to Princethorpe sit an entrance examination in the November of the year before they are due to start in September.
There is a variety of Scholarships available for particularly able or talented candidates ranging from Academic, Art and Music to All-Rounder. Additionally for the Sixth Form there are Academic, Music, Art, Drama and Sports Scholarships available. Every year there is a high level of interest in both Scholarships and Bursaries and the number of awards are limited. Scholarships to a maximum reduction of 50% of tuition fees are available and are awarded at point of entry. Scholarship awards may be revoked if scholars fail to fulfil the conditions on which they were awarded.
