Overview
Overview
Three connected stages give St Crispin's School its shape: early years for children aged two to five, Prep for Years 1 to 6 and Senior School for Years 7 to 11. The Leicester school is a mixed independent day setting for ages two to 16, with no boarding. Its own landing page directs visitors to separate preparatory and grammar-school sites, reflecting that route through the school.
Senior pupils follow age-appropriate relationships and sex education supported by schemes of work and regular checks of understanding. That work formed part of a recent action plan, alongside measures affecting water safety, first aid and attendance. The relevant education standards examined in June 2026 were met, giving the secondary programme a clear framework for both learning and personal development.
Safeguarding rests on a current policy, trained staff, local-authority liaison and online-safety teaching. Attendance recording and monitoring have improved, the site meets the required health-and-safety standard, and staff with paediatric first-aid training are available for younger children and outings. These are practical safeguards across the school rather than a separate pastoral add-on.
The proprietors acquired St Crispin's in December 2015 and continue to hold leadership and teaching roles. The connection between early years, prep and senior education remains its most distinctive feature: one Leicester school carrying pupils from age two into GCSE study, with its public preparatory and grammar-school pages providing the current school-specific detail.
