In 2023, the Foundation marked the 75th anniversary of Crescent School’s inception back in the post war world of 1948. The school celebrated in different ways over the year, with the highlight being a School Fair in the summer term that included an open day for Old Crescentians.

As part of these celebrations, Crescent also published a much-updated version of the school history. The new version builds on the first edition and brings the story up to the present day.

It rightly celebrates all that is good about Crescent School, including its heritage of achievement in sport, music, the performing arts and of course academic results and pastoral care. It also recognises former and longstanding staff who have played an important part in the school’s success.

Copies of the second edition of A History of Crescent School have been shared with parents and contributors and a digital version is available to download for free on the school website here: https://www.theprincethorpefoundation.co.uk/publications-crescent. Printed copies are also freely available for all Old Crescentians and local residents. They can be requested here: https://connect.princethorpe.co.uk/shop (there is a small £2 charge to cover UK postage).
