Our Year 2 pupils were treated to an exciting and enriching Indian dance workshop, led by two wonderful parents from our school community. This vibrant experience was a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about and celebrate a different culture in a joyful and engaging way.

A group of enthusiastic Year 5 pupils from Cricklade Manor Prep had an unforgettable time at this year’s Cheltenham College Leadership Challenge Day on Monday 12th May.

At Cricklade Manor Prep, we believe in the power of sport not just to build fitness, but to build friendships, confidence, and community. This belief was brought to life recently when we welcomed Year 5 and 6 pupils from our sister school, Rupert House in Henley, and our local neighbouring primary school in Cricklade, St Sampson’s, to an exciting inter-school athletics competition held right here at the school.

At Cricklade Manor Prep, we believe learning should be exciting, hands-on, and full of opportunity. That’s why our LEGO Robotics lessons are so popular with our pupils!

Each term, we celebrate the incredible teamwork and determination shown by our 4 school houses: Burton, Clifford, Brownlow and Baines - through the House Winners Breakfast. It’s a special event that recognises the house that has collected the most house points across the term – a reflection of effort, kindness, and teamwork from Reception all the way up to Year 6.

Excitement filled Cricklade Manor Prep as children from Reception to Year 6 took part in a story competition set by our English lead, Miss Blissett.

With September 2025 on the horizon, we know how important it is for children to feel confident and happy as they begin their school journey. The Stay and Play event is just one of the ways we ensure every child feels at home from day one—and judging by all the smiles, it was a great success!
