The Croft Preparatory School is an independent co-educational day school for children from 2 to 11 years old, situated in a beautiful, 30-acre site on the outskirts of Stratford upon Avon. The School has nearly 500 pupils on its roll, with class sizes of no more than 20 pupils. The Croft is a vibrant, forward-thinking school, based on traditional values. It offers a diverse range of opportunities within a broad and balanced curriculum. A family-based school, The Croft typically provides teaching in small groups, where discipline and a wider knowledge of the world, both spiritual and geographical, is encouraged. Music, Sport and Drama each play an important part. In March 2012, the School opened its 600-seat Theatre and fully equipped 400m2 Sports Hall. Mundell Court was completed in 2009, a two-storey building providing additional, spacious teaching areas for ICT, DT, PSHE and Mathematics. It also incorporates a small-scale performance space. The Croft Early Years provision was inspected by ISI in April 2012, and was awarded ‘Outstanding’ in all key areas. The whole School was inspected in May and June 2009, and was highly commended for its many outstanding features.
