Welcome to Carleton House
It is my great privilege as the Headteacher of Carleton House Preparatory School to welcome you to our school website.
There can be little doubt that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. So why choose Carleton House?
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.
