Welcome to House Preparatory School. Our school motto, ‘They can because they think they can’ reflects the aspirations and achievements of every child who comes to us. We are an inclusive Catholic school committed to our faith, welcoming all denominations of girls and boys aged 3-11.
We provide an education based on strong moral and personal values with Christ at the center of all that we do. Our mission statement, ‘We Live, Love and Learn with Jesus,’ is lived out through our daily interactions. Inclusivity enriches our school our pupils grow in mutual understanding and respect.
Our talented and experienced staff work closely with our pupils and parents to ensure the highest quality provision as evidenced in our consistently outstanding results both in national examinations and entrance examinations. A rich academic and pastoral curriculum with a strong emphasis on creativity, independence, and love of learning produces well-rounded, articulate, and confident young people who strive not only for their benefit but for that of others.
Carleton House is an independent primary school in Liverpool and was established by a group of parents in the early 1970s in response to the closure of its forerunner school, Woolton Hall Preparatory School. The school was established to preserve the traditions and values of a unique Catholic Preparatory School. From the beginning, we have been committed to both academic excellence and the creation of a positive and affirming pastoral environment.
We recognize the unique value of all our children and focus on helping them to develop their talents and potential. We are more than a place of learning. We are a place of growth, discovery, and celebration. Above all, we are a family – a diverse, welcoming community rooted in our core faith values.
Since opening in 1974 at Lyndhurst Road, Mossley Hill in Liverpool, we have gone from strength to strength, faithful to our traditions and founding values.
Carleton House re-located to Menlove Avenue, Calderstones in Autumn 2009 marking an important step in the school’s development and reinforcing our reputation as Merseyside’s leading co-ed Prep School for the 21st century.
We offer a wide range of clubs and other activities after school and at lunchtime, as well as a dedicated After-School Club service for all ages.
