Founded in 1539 and set in nearly 30 acres of grounds, The Crypt School’s vision is derived from its Latin motto, “Floreat Schola Cryptiensis”: floreat means “to flourish” and at The Crypt we wish all our students, as well as our staff, to flourish in all that they do. In order to achieve that vision, we strive to create the best possible environment and culture within which our students can learn, develop essential key skills and personal attributes, make friends and enjoy their school lives; equally, we wish for our staff to flourish in their work at school, and always strive to place their welfare at the centre of our work and planning. The School has grown significantly over the last five years, especially since the admission of girls into the main school in September 2018. Today, The Crypt School is Gloucester’s only co-educational selective school with a student roll of over 1100. The student body is a diverse, caring and enthusiastic one and our staff are a highly professional, caring and generous group of people who commit themselves fully to the academic, pastoral and extra-curricular life of the School. The School is a vibrant place to both learn within and to work at; it is a place where learning is valued for its own sake, within an environment of strong pastoral care. At the centre of our school life, is a powerful sense of community, where students are supported and encouraged to learn and engage with each other. Confident, friendly and respectful, the high quality of our student’s personal development is remarkable and is one of the greatest strengths of the School.

The School has benefited from significant capital investment over recent years which has enhanced the learning environment for both students and staff alike. Recent projects have included the building of two new teaching blocks and a sports pavilion; the refurbishment of the sports hall, the creation of an outdoor netball and tennis area and giving enhanced facilities to our growing sixth form, which now numbers over 330 students. Later this year, and thanks to a recent Wolfson Fund grant, two science laboratories will be completely refurbished.

In March 2024, the School received an outstanding Ofsted report in all areas and our curriculum was judged as outstanding. Geography was one of the subjects inspected and viewed as a particular strength: “The school ensures that the curriculum makes a significant contribution to pupils’ wider development, such as through residential visits, field work and hearing from visiting speakers.”

Staff work hard and give generously of their time to the life and wellbeing of the School. Time and money is invested in their professional development, and each member of the teaching staff is equipped with a laptop and iPad; other benefits also enhance the working experience of colleagues at the School (https://cryptschool.org/explore-our-school/work-with-us/)

The Crypt School is located just outside of the City of Gloucester in the West of England. Gloucester is known for its 11th century Cathedral and close; for Blackfriars, which is a stunning example of a 13th century medieval priory site; the British Waterways Museum, which celebrates the city’s industrial past, and now the vibrant Gloucester Quays, which has a selection of shops and restaurants. Gloucester is a vibrant and growing city, and the School is conveniently located close to the City, and close to good road and rail links to Cheltenham and the surrounding region, including Bristol for example.
