The Crescent is a thriving co-educational independent day school for around 190 children aged 4 to 11 years, based in Bilton, Rugby. Tailoring learning to individual needs, we support all our pupils to achieve great things in a happy and caring environment.

A little school with big ambitions, our dedicated staff pride themselves on really knowing our pupils well and bringing out the very best in all of them. This philosophy applies in the classroom, on the sports field and in many extra-curricular pursuits, including music and drama. This breeds positivity and pupils achieve great things over the course of their Crescent school career.

We specialise in preparing children for their first choice of senior school. Many continue on to Princethorpe and we also enjoy a high degree of success in pupils gaining local grammar school places

VAT on School Fees – The Foundation’s Response

In August we announced our response to the Government’s plan to introduce VAT to private school fees from January 2025. Following the Budget announcement in October, the Foundation has confirmed that it is standing by its commitment to minimise the impact on families by reducing our fees from January 2025. The increase passed on to parents will be 5%, substantially less than the 20% VAT rate. For more on the fees and our strategy, please click here.
