The school is housed on an 8-acre site within the town, including a handsome Grade II listed manor house, a number of purpose-built classroom blocks and extensive sports facilities including astroturf and grass pitches, a sports hall and swimming pool. The Nursery is based in its own building set within a beautiful walled garden.

Cricklade Manor Prep educates boys and girls from age 2 to 11. At the end of their time at the school, pupils move on to a wide range of independent, grammar and maintained schools.

The school aims to:

  • Develop the academic, musical, creative, sporting and other talents of each boy and girl.
  • Provide outstanding pastoral care in a secure, happy, nurturing environment, underpinned by principles of tolerance, kindness and respect.
  • Create an outward-looking ethos, building links with parents and the local community.
  • Prepare leavers for entry to senior schools at 11+.
