Princethorpe College, Independent school in Princethorpe, Warwickshire, England
Princethorpe College is an independent secondary school housed in a Victorian building with Gothic elements spread across spacious grounds. The campus includes classrooms, a dedicated Sixth Form Centre, and the teaching block known as The Limes alongside sports facilities.
The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart established the school in 1966 on land previously used by St Bede's College. Before that, the buildings had served as a Benedictine monastery.
The college draws from its Catholic roots while creating space for students of different faiths to learn together. Spiritual and academic life are woven throughout the school day.
The school accepts students aged 11 to 18 and offers education from secondary through Sixth Form level. The expansive grounds mean comfortable footwear is a good idea when exploring the campus.
The main building carries Grade II* listed status and still houses the original church from the former monastery. This preserved space creates a fascinating connection between religious architecture and educational life.
