Hillcroft Preparatory School was an independent private co-educational school, located at Walnutree Manor, Haughley Green. Established in 1911,[1] it was the oldest co-educational preparatory day school in Suffolk.
The school closed down in December 2006,[2] after the Rapsey family (the owners) completed a deal with the nearby Finborough School which involved many staff and pupils, and much of the equipment, moving to the Finborough School site,[1] and Walnutree Manor was sold. At the time of closure, there were fewer than 100 pupils at the school.[1]
