School in Bilton adds a second reception class as 'enormous amount of new housing' brings high demand

The independent day school normally limits places in the Reception class to 20 children but with applications already well over that number, and with two year six classes leaving this July, the school has the capacity to offer a second reception class.

Headmaster Joe Thackway said: “We are seeing an enormous amount of new house building in Bilton and the surrounding area and hope that this extra provision will be well received.

“Having two classes of up to 20 pupils each will enable more pupils to benefit from our experienced Early Years team and specialist child-centred tailored approach.

Parents considering the school are encouraged to register their interest as soon as possible to make sure they get a place in next year’s cohort.

If you are interested in a reception place for your child in September 2020 you can contact Mrs Helen Morley, the registrar, on 01788 523851 or email [email protected]

The school is also inviting people to attend their open morning on Saturday March 21 from 9.30am to 12.00 pm.

Part of the Princethorpe Foundation, the Crescent is a co-educational independent day school for around 160 children aged four to eleven years.

Traditionally one form entry, class sizes range from up to 20 pupils for reception to year two to up to 24 for years three to six.
